[Peter by F. Hopkinson Smith]@TWC D-Link bookPeter CHAPTER XXIX 1/22
Jack descended Peter's stairs one step at a time, Each seemed to plunge him the deeper into some pit of despair.

He began to realize, too, that both he and Ruth had been swept off their feet by their emotions. MacFarlane, the elder Breen, and now Peter, had all either openly condemned his course or had given it scant encouragement.

Then, after the funeral was over, he would have another talk with MacFarlane. He had reached the cool air of the street, and stood hesitating whether to cross the Square on his way to the ferry, or to turn down the avenue, when the door of Isaac Cohen's shop opened, and the little tailor put out his head. "I have been waiting for you." he said in a measured voice.
