John Brown took Alice Brown and Jennifer Hog away, and Brother Bob saw them off to the car, watched them leave, and then stood in the yard without moving for a long time.
Meeting John Brown this time, he didn't ask about John Brown's capabilities, and John Brown didn't say either, only giving him a promise. This seemed unreliable, but at this moment Brother Bob was deeply convinced, which made him feel somewhat amused yet incredibly fortunate.
It was funny how he could trust others so easily now, and without conditions, too. The fortunate part was that by believing in John Brown's promise, he could let go of past matters in his heart and expand his business even more.
