"Roger throwed him!" cried Mr. Kimball, capering about, almost as much
pleased over his nephew's victory as Roger himself was. "So ye throwed
him fair, eh? Wa'al, I told ye we'd make a Cardiff boy outen ye, ef ye
stayed long 'nuff. By Gum! Throwed him good 'n' proper! Now mebby he'll
think some un 'sides him kin rassal."

coming up as the boys resumed their feet. "He's twice as strong as when
I sent him up here. The air and sunshine of the country have made him
what he ought to be--a healthy, sturdy boy."

became louder, the tree-toads croaked with stronger voices, and it was
night in the valley of Cardiff.
