I
don
’
t
know
as
I
ought
to
be
asking
you
,
and
yet
I
can
’
t
see
a
reason
good
enough
to
keep
me
from
it
.
It
’
s
a
thing
I
’
ve
had
on
me
mind
every
hour
since
I
’
ve
had
time
to
straighten
things
out
a
little
.
May
I
be
asking
you
a
question
?
”
McLean
reached
over
and
took
Freckles
’
hand
.
His
voice
was
shaken
with
feeling
as
he
replied
:
“
Freckles
,
you
almost
hurt
me
.
Will
you
never
learn
how
much
you
are
to
me
—
how
happy
you
make
me
in
coming
to
me
with
anything
,
no
matter
what
?
”
“
Then
it
’
s
this
,
”
said
Freckles
,
gripping
the
hand
of
McLean
strongly
.
“
If
this
accident
,
and
all
that
’
s
come
to
me
since
,
had
never
happened
,
where
was
it
you
had
planned
to
send
me
to
school
?
What
was
it
you
meant
for
me
to
do
?
”
“
Why
,
Freckles
,
”
answered
McLean
,
“
I
’
m
scarcely
prepared
to
state
definitely
.
My
ideas
were
rather
hazy
.
I
thought
we
would
make
a
beginning
and
see
which
way
things
went
.
I
figured
on
taking
you
to
Grand
Rapids
first
,
and
putting
you
in
the
care
of
my
mother
.
I
had
an
idea
it
would
be
best
to
secure
a
private
tutor
to
coach
you
for
a
year
or
two
,
until
you
were
ready
to
enter
Ann
Arbor
or
the
Chicago
University
in
good
shape
.
Then
I
thought
we
’
d
finish
in
this
country
at
Yale
or
Harvard
,
and
end
with
Oxford
,
to
get
a
good
,
all
-
round
flavor
.
”
“
Is
that
all
?
”
asked
Freckles
.
“
No
;
that
’
s
leaving
the
music
out
,
”
said
McLean
.
“
I
intended
to
have
your
voice
tested
by
some
master
,
and
if
you
really
were
endowed
for
a
career
as
a
great
musician
,
and
had
inclinations
that
way
,
I
wished
to
have
you
drop
some
of
the
college
work
and
make
music
your
chief
study
.
Finally
,
I
wanted
us
to
take
a
trip
through
Europe
and
clear
around
the
circle
together
.
”
“
And
then
what
?
”
queried
Freckles
breathlessly
.
“
Why
,
then
,
”
said
McLean
,
“
you
know
that
my
heart
is
hopelessly
in
the
woods
.
I
never
will
quit
the
timber
business
while
there
is
timber
to
handle
and
breath
in
my
body
.
I
thought
if
you
didn
’
t
make
a
profession
of
music
,
and
had
any
inclination
my
way
,
we
would
stretch
the
partnership
one
more
and
take
you
into
the
firm
,
placing
your
work
with
me
.
Those
plans
may
sound
jumbled
in
the
telling
,
but
they
have
grown
steadily
on
me
,
Freckles
,
as
you
have
grown
dear
to
me
.
”
Freckles
lifted
anxious
and
eager
eyes
to
McLean
.
