"I meant particularly at school."
"Oh! Of course I go to school."
"You are a good scholar?"
"Oh, well, I am not the worst. I’m not one
of the best either, but I’m not the worst,
really."
"But you should be among the best, Johnny
Blossom."
There was a short silence.
"It is awfully hard to be among the best,
Uncle Isaac," with an apologetic smile.
"Not if a person is industrious, John."
Johnny Blossom suddenly found something
the matter with his shoestring. His face was
very red when he straightened up again, saying,
" How provoking shoestrings are!"
"How are your sisters?"
"Oh, very well."
" My god-daughter, Dagny — she is getting
big now?"
"My, oh, my! She is so heavy! You would
hardly believe how heavy she is; but I almost
know that I could lift her and hold her at arm’s
length with my arm out like this, perfectly
straight!"
"My dear John! You do not try lifting the
child at arm’s length, as you say?"
