Uncle Stephen looked from one to another of the four men around him, and
saw the assenting smiles upon their faces—a bit shame-faced, perhaps,
yet genuine.
Samuel Kingsley rose to his feet. "I could make my speech now," he said,
with a happy laugh, his hands shoved well down into his pockets, where
they jingled some loose change there in a boyish fashion. "But I don’t
want to. I’m only going to say that as long as I have a brother in the
world like Stephen Kingsley I’m coming to see him as often as he’ll have
me. And the more of you boys I meet here the better I’ll be
pleased—particularly if the boy I meet here happens to be—" he glanced,
smiling, across the little circle—"my brother Syl!"
"Hear, hear!" answered Sylvester Kingsley’s deep voice.
So, to Stephen Kingsley’s intense delight, "_Brotherly House_" it
was—and has been ever since.
