Chapter XXVI
"I ABSOLVE YOU" When George reached the counting-rooms, he saw that Bodine was not in his accustomed place. Surmising the truth at once, he hastened to his father's room, and asked almost sternly: "Where is Captain Bodine?" "I neither know nor care," was the cool reply. "He is dismissed from my service."
