Then
,
if
you
will
go
,
I
intend
to
take
you
to
the
city
and
educate
you
,
and
you
are
to
be
my
son
,
my
lad
—
my
own
son
!
”
Freckles
twisted
his
finger
in
Nellie
’
s
mane
to
steady
himself
.
“
But
why
should
you
be
doing
that
,
sir
?
”
he
faltered
.
McLean
slid
his
arm
around
the
boy
’
s
shoulder
and
gathered
him
close
.
“
Because
I
love
you
,
Freckles
,
”
he
said
simply
.
Freckles
lifted
a
white
face
.
“
My
God
,
sir
!
”
he
whispered
.
“
Oh
,
my
God
!
”
McLean
tightened
his
clasp
a
second
longer
,
then
he
rode
down
the
trail
.
Freckles
lifted
his
hat
and
faced
the
sky
.
The
harvest
moon
looked
down
,
sheeting
the
swamp
in
silver
glory
.
The
Limberlost
sang
her
night
song
.
The
swale
softly
rustled
in
the
wind
.
Winged
things
of
night
brushed
his
face
;
and
still
Freckles
gazed
upward
,
trying
to
fathom
these
things
that
had
come
to
him
.
There
was
no
help
from
the
sky
.
It
seemed
far
away
,
cold
,
and
blue
.
The
earth
,
where
flowers
blossomed
,
angels
walked
,
and
love
could
be
found
,
was
better
.
But
to
One
,
above
,
he
must
make
acknowledgment
for
these
miracles
.
His
lips
moved
and
he
began
talking
softly
.
“
Thank
You
for
each
separate
good
thing
that
has
come
to
me
,
”
he
said
,
“
and
above
all
for
the
falling
of
the
feather
.
For
if
it
didn
’
t
really
fall
from
an
angel
,
its
falling
brought
an
Angel
,
and
if
it
’
s
in
the
great
heart
of
you
to
exercise
yourself
any
further
about
me
,
oh
,
do
please
to
be
taking
good
care
of
her
!
”
The
following
morning
Freckles
,
inexpressibly
happy
,
circled
the
Limberlost
.
He
kept
snatches
of
song
ringing
,
as
well
as
the
wires
.
His
heart
was
so
full
that
tears
of
joy
glistened
in
his
eyes
.
He
rigorously
strove
to
divide
his
thought
evenly
between
McLean
and
the
Angel
.
He
realized
to
the
fullest
the
debt
he
already
owed
the
Boss
and
the
magnitude
of
last
night
’
s
declaration
and
promises
.
He
was
hourly
planning
to
deliver
his
trust
and
then
enter
with
equal
zeal
on
whatever
task
his
beloved
Boss
saw
fit
to
set
him
next
.
He
wanted
to
be
ready
to
meet
every
device
that
Wessner
and
Black
Jack
could
think
of
to
outwit
him
.
He
recognized
their
double
leverage
,
for
if
they
succeeded
in
felling
even
one
tree
McLean
became
liable
for
his
wager
.
