"Have you heard anything about that?"
"O yes, Robert," I replied, "I know all about it. I have good eyes and
ears, and I have seen and heard how nobly you have redeemed yourself. I
am very glad of it. Of course I will welcome you to the Lord's table."
After a little further conversation, I said:
"Tell me, Robert, why did you act so selfishly toward your wife and
daughters?"
He just uttered with emphasis the Indian word which means:
"Stupidity,"--then after a little pause he quietly added; "But I think I
have got over it."
And so he had.
