"You also made good, Jack," he said after a pause. "I don't know
when I've seen a braver brave. Do you ever expect to get that stuff

"I thought I saw him, and then I wasn't sure. He wasn't invited.
Whom do you think he was?"
"I--well, I wouldn't be sure, either," answered Ed evasively. "I saw
so many chaps about his size and build that it was hard to
distinguish. Hastings was splendid, wasn't he? I like that fellow."
"So do I. He's perfectly square, and measures up all right. I
managed to get the order for the Robinson twins' auto for him."
"You did?"

one of their cars across country, you know. He was mighty pleased to
get the order. It was Cora's idea, of course.
