and handed it to Gilbert.

"Thank you, sir. This money will be very useful. Besides, it will show
Carl that his father is not wholly indifferent to him."

"Of course not. Who says that I am a bad father?" asked Dr. Crawford,
peevishly.

"I don't think, sir, there would be any difficulty between you and Carl
if you had not married again."

"Carl has no right to vex Mrs. Crawford. Besides, he can't agree with
Peter."

"Is that his fault or Peter's?" asked Gilbert, significantly.

"I am not acquainted with the circumstances, but Mrs. Crawford says that
Carl is always bullying Peter."

"He never bullied anyone at school."

"Is there anything, else you want?"

"Yes, sir; Carl only took away a little underclothing in a gripsack. He
would like his woolen clothes put in his trunk, and to have it sent----"

"Where?"

"Perhaps it had better be sent to my house. There are one or two things
in his room also that he asked me to get."
