the two months those children were at

rout him out of it day after day, and
he looked just as bewildered every
time.
Its all well enough for the boy to
have a head crammed with rules and
dates and figures, but there's another
part of his memory that needs looking
to, and mighty hard work it'll be to get
1t in good order, if I'm any judge"
