ad got a gift of enough money to "ransom his sister Dinah," laid his
woolly head on her shoulder, and absolutely howled for joy.
It may be well to remark, in conclusion, that Peter the Great finally
agreed to become Mrs Foster's gardener, as being the surest way of
seeing "Geo'ge" during his periodical visits home. For much the same
reason Hugh Sommers settled down in a small house near them. Laronde
obtained a situation as French master in an academy not far off, and his
wife and daughter soon gave evidence that joy is indeed a wonderful
medicine!
As for George Foster himself, he rose to the top of his profession. How
could it be otherwise with such an experience--and such a wife? And
when, in after years, his sons and daughters clamoured, as they were
often wont to do, for "stories from father," he would invariably send
for Peter the Great, in order that he might listen and corroborate or
correct what he related of his wonderful adventures when he was a Middy
among the Moors.
