But if I was to thank you for a hundred years,
I couldn't thank you enough for telling me
about my Saviour and showing me the way to
heaven. Every word you ever said is sticking
to me. I mind all our talks, and if I may
have had some rough times in trying to serve
God first, I have been as happy as a king.
And I have found that the Lord has kept me
through the worst times, and I love Him with
all my heart. When I get to heaven I shall
be able to thank you proper. I do feel thankful
to you and Master Dudley. And now
good-bye and God bless you.
"Your faithful ROB forever."
Roy read this through.
"He's all right, Dudley. What did she mean? Why did she look so funny?"
Dudley shook his head.
"I don't know, read what Aunt Judy says."
Roy spread out his aunt's letter, and read it in unfaltering tones to
the end.
"MY POOR DEAR LITTLE JONATHAN:
"If granny were not really very unwell
I should have come straight off to soften the
blow to you, but I send the letters which I
have just received, and I have asked Mrs.
Hawthorn to explain them to you. You must
be comforted by knowing that our dear Rob
has proved himself a hero and died a hero's
death.
