[All Aboard; or, Life on the Lake by Oliver Optic]@TWC D-Link bookAll Aboard; or, Life on the Lake CHAPTER XXI 2/4
His father has gone to enjoy his reward in the world beyond the grave; and Frank, who was married a year ago to Mary Weston, resides in the mansion by the lake.
His brilliant talents and unspotted integrity have elevated him to a respectable position, for one so young, in the legal profession; and there is no doubt but that he will arrive at eminence in due time. Uncle Ben is still alive, and continues to dwell at the mansion of the Sedleys.
The boats are still in being, and are manned by the boys belonging to the school--under the direction of the veteran. Tony Weston is a merchant.
At the age of seventeen he was taken into the counting-room of Mr.Walker, and at twenty-one admitted as an equal partner.
The man is what the boy was--noble, generous, kind. Strange as it may seem, only one boy of the whole number has become a sailor.
