"I was so frightened.

I thought burglars were trying to cut out a pane of glass." "I don't believe they'll do it again," remarked Captain Spark.
"Will you, boys ?" "No, sir," they chorused.
"That's right.

Now come on, Bob.

I'm going to your house." The captain was warmly welcomed by Mr.and Mrs.Henderson a little later.

Bob was wondering whether the captain would say anything about the recent prank, but the old seaman said nothing, though his eyes twinkled when, in response to a question from Mr.Henderson as to where the captain had met Bob, the former replied that there had been a collision in the dark.
That night, after Bob had gone to bed, Mrs.Henderson had a talk with her relative.
"I don't know what to do with Bob," she said.
