If I stood in your boots, sir, I would rise up in the mighty strength of my pride and pull out foundation stones until I shook the nation! I never envied mortal man as I envy you to-day!" Candace cried out: "Oh look, his poor feet! They are blistered and bleeding!" Mother moved down a little, gathered them in her arms, and began kissing them.

Father wet Leon's lips and arose.

He held out his hand, and Mr.Pryor took it.
"I will pray God," he said, "that it may happen 'even so' to you." Leon opened his eyes and caught only the last words.
"You had better look out for the 'Even So's,' father," he said.
And father had to laugh, but Mr.Pryor went out, and slammed the door, until I looked to see if it had cracked from top to bottom; but we didn't care if it had, we were so happy over having Leon back.
I went and picked up the money and carried it to father to put away, and that time he took it.

But even then he didn't stop to see if he had all of it.
"You see!" I said, "I told you----" "You did indeed!" said father.
