Chapter XXVIII
SHORTER VISTAS Larry had assembled his effects in the library, and to my surprise, Stoddard appeared with his own hand-bag. “I’m going to see Donovan well on his way,” said the clergyman. “It’s a pity our party must break up,” exclaimed my grandfather. “My obligations to Mr. Donovan are very great—and to you, too, Stoddard. Jack’s friends are mine hereafter, and when we get new doors for Glenarm House you shall honor me by accepting duplicate keys.”
