Neither Sam nor Penrod showed any interest in what the other had
written; but both felt that something praiseworthy had been
accomplished. Penrod exhaled a sigh, as of relief, and, in a
manner he had observed his father use sometimes, he said:
"Thank goodness, THAT'S off my mind, anyway!"
"What we goin' do next, Penrod?" Sam asked deferentially, the
borrowed manner having some effect upon him.
