`` I do n't know exactly , '' said Ted dreamily . `` That is , I seem to feel what he meant but I ca n't quite put it into words . But , oh , Jimmy , I 'm so happy . I 'm to have lessons -- I have always longed to have them . '' `` I guess you 're glad you did n't go to the picnic ? '' said Jimmy . `` Yes , but I was glad before , Jimmy , honest I was . '' Blair Milford kept his promise . He interviewed Mr. and Mrs. Jackson and , by means best known to himself , induced them to consent that Ted should take music lessons every Saturday afternoon . He was a pupil to delight a teacher 's heart and , after every lesson , Blair Milford looked at him with kindly eyes and murmured , `` Amazing , '' under his breath . Finally he went again to the Jacksons , and the next day he said to Ted , `` Ted , would you like to come away with me -- live with me -- be my boy and have your gift for music thoroughly cultivated ? '' `` What do you mean , sir ? '' said Ted tremblingly . `` I mean that I want you -- that I must have you , Ted . I 've talked to Mr. Jackson , and he has consented to let you come . You shall be educated , you shall have the best masters in your art that the world affords , you shall have the career I once dreamed of . Will you come , Ted ? '' Ted drew a long breath . `` Yes , sir , '' he said . `` But it is n't so much because of the music -- it 's because I love you , Mr. Milford , and I 'm so glad I 'm to be always with you . ''
