Archie frowned for several seconds before nodding slowly. "I will hold your hand tightly next time," he promised, "and never allow something like this to happen again."

Benny nodded vigorously as he squeezed his brother's hand.

Estella came over to join the fun. "Me too! I'll hold both your hands!"
