It had occurred to him suddenly that perhaps it would not be unalloyed bliss to take this young namesake of William's home with them.
It was not until an hour later, when Billy, Aunt Hannah, and the Henshaws had reached the hotel where they were to spend the night, that the Henshaw brothers began really to get acquainted with Billy.

She seemed then more like their own Billy--the Billy that they had known.
"And I'm so glad to be here," she cried; "and to see you all.

America IS the best place, after all!" "And of America, Boston is the Hub, you know," Bertram reminded her.
"It is," nodded Billy.
"And it hasn't changed a mite, except to grow better.

You'll see to-morrow." "As if I hadn't been counting the days!" she exulted.

"And now what have you been doing--all of you ?" "Just wait till you see," laughed Bertram.
