He is so different!"
"Isn't he?" responded Louise demurely. "He doesn't look anything like
Uncle Abram, at least."
"I should say not!" ejaculated Lawford. "Do you know, he's an
awfully--er--romantic looking old fellow. Looks just as though he had
stepped out of an old print"
"The frontispiece of a book about buccaneers, for instance?" she
suggested gleefully.
"Well," and he smiled down upon her from his superior height, "I wasn't
sure you would see it that way."
"Do you know," she told him, still laughing, "that Betty Gallup calls
him nothing but 'that old pirate.' She has taken a decided dislike to
him and I have to keep smoothing her ruffled feathers. And, really,
Cap'n Amazon is the nicest man."
"I bet he's seen some rough times," Lawford rejoined with vigor. "We
used to think Cap'n Abe told some stretchers about his brother; but
Cap'n Amazon looks as though he had been through all that Cap'n Abe
ever told about--and more."
"Oh, he's not so very terrible, I assure you," Louise said, much amused.
