And because that for which he had been hoping had failed to come, his thin face had grown more worried, and the brooding look was more constantly in his eyes. This afternoon his hand paused; he looked at the superscription on an envelope unbelievingly. The letter came from St. Timothy’s School and was addressed to him.
