And look at Connie Bennett, too.

Mr.Ellsworth had to hypnotize Connie's mother and now Connie's a first class scout.

After two or three nights he brought Skinny to meeting, and oh, cracky, but that kid looked bad.
He just sat and watched us do our stunts and he was scared when anybody spoke to him, except Mr.Ellsworth.And he was coughing a lot, too.
After the meeting Westy and I and Mr.Ellsworth took him home, and just when we left him he asked us if maybe he'd live long enough to get the pathfinder's badge.

And oh, gee, it made me feel good the way Mr.
Ellsworth answered him.
He said, "Well, I can't exactly promise that because I don't know how long it will take you to win that badge, but if you think you can win it inside of forty or fifty years, I think you'll be there to grab it when it comes." Oh, jingoes, but we've got one dandy scoutmaster.

I don't care what you say, he's the best one in America.
