Somehow Johnnie Alberson was kneeling at the other side of the boy then, and when his arm went around Lem it went around Henrietta too. “Are you, Henrietta?” Johnnie asked. “Oh, yes--yes!” said Henrietta. “I am, Lem, because I love you,” and then, much lower, she added, “and Johnnie.” Miss Susan wiped her eyes on the edge of her apron. Harvey, too, seemed to be affected, for he kept his back turned on the little group by the door; but what he said was: “Well, I got quite a long walk ahead of me, so I guess I 'll just slice off another slice o' ham to sort o' eat on the way down. I don't never seem able to get my fill o' ham since I was a saint.” THE END End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of In Pawn, by Ellis Parker Butler
