For
many
and
many
a
night
after
the
day
when
she
and
Peter
and
Phyllis
had
saved
the
train
from
wreck
by
waving
their
little
red
flannel
flags
,
Bobbie
used
to
wake
screaming
and
shivering
,
seeing
again
that
horrible
mound
,
and
the
poor
,
dear
trustful
engine
rushing
on
towards
it
--
just
thinking
that
it
was
doing
its
swift
duty
,
and
that
everything
was
clear
and
safe
.
And
then
a
warm
thrill
of
pleasure
used
to
run
through
her
at
the
remembrance
of
how
she
and
Peter
and
Phyllis
and
the
red
flannel
petticoats
had
really
saved
everybody
.
One
morning
a
letter
came
.
It
was
addressed
to
Peter
and
Bobbie
and
Phyllis
.
They
opened
it
with
enthusiastic
curiosity
,
for
they
did
not
often
get
letters
.
The
letter
said
:
--
"
Dear
Sir
,
and
Ladies
--
It
is
proposed
to
make
a
small
presentation
to
you
,
in
commemoration
of
your
prompt
and
courageous
action
in
warning
the
train
on
the
--
--
inst.
,
and
thus
averting
what
must
,
humanly
speaking
,
have
been
a
terrible
accident
.
The
presentation
will
take
place
at
the
--
--
Station
at
three
o'clock
on
the
30th
inst.
,
if
this
time
and
place
will
be
convenient
to
you
.
"
Yours
faithfully
,
"
Jabez
Inglewood
.
"
Secretary
,
Great
Northern
and
Southern
Railway
Co.

There
never
had
been
a
prouder
moment
in
the
lives
of
the
three
children
.
They
rushed
to
Mother
with
the
letter
,
and
she
also
felt
proud
and
said
so
,
and
this
made
the
children
happier
than
ever
.
"
But
if
the
presentation
is
money
,
you
must
say
,
'
Thank
you
,
but
we
'd
rather
not
take
it
,
'
"
said
Mother
.
"
I
'll
wash
your
Indian
muslins
at
once
,
"
she
added
.
"
You
must
look
tidy
on
an
occasion
like
this
.
