TELLEF’S GRANDMOTHER 125
master of Kingthorpe were alive, she would ask
him for money to go and have her eyes operated
on. It costs frightfully, you see, Mother, and I
have to be the master of Kingthorpe now; so
I want to give Tellef’s grandmother the money.
I must do it because Uncle Isaac would, and I
am the Kingthorpe heir."
Johnny Blossom talked so fast that his words
tumbled over each other. "Oh, I must," he
continued, "for Grandmother said it would be
heavenly to see the ocean once more."
Mother patted Johnny’s hand. "We’ll think
about it, little John, and talk it over with
Father."
But Johnny went to work at once to take the
fishing rod apart, and then wrapped it very
carefully in old newspapers. Great sport it
would have been to have this fine rod to fish with
— it was such a beauty — but think of not being
able to see, just to walk around a house holding
on to the walls! My, oh, my! how frightfully
sad that was!
" I hear that you wish to sell your fishing rod
so as to get money for Tellef s grandmother,"
said Father at the dinner table. "Very well,
John. I will buy it and you shall run over to
Sandy Point with the money this afternoon."
