But Brown will see that this doesn't

was getting uneasy. How long was this

From the moment the 2OO-inch slab

They had heard the work was in
charge of an ex-truck driver and they
didn't see why they shouldn't qualify,
too.
And now Brown began to reap his
reward. He met the youngsters kindly
but firmly. just as Anderson had done
with him years before, and watched
for the spirit underneath their grave
fronts. When they tried to boast Of
