She jumped up , put her arms about Uncle James ' neck and kissed him . Uncle James said , `` Tut , tut , '' again , but he liked it . When Stephen had seen his uncle off on the six o'clock train he returned home and looked at the radiant Alexina . `` Well , you made your favourable impression , all right , did n't you ? '' he said gaily . `` But we owe it to Josie Tracy . Is n't she a brick ? I suppose you 're going over this evening ? '' `` Yes , I am . I 'm so tired that I feel as if I could n't crawl across the yard , but if I ca n't you 'll have to carry me . Go I will . I ca n't begin to tell you how glad I am about everything , but really the fact that you and Duncan and Josie and I are good friends again seems the best of all . I 'm glad that tramp stole the dinner and I hope he enjoyed it . I do n't grudge him one single bite ! ''
