Regatta At Argenteuil respected him greatly for it, and had no doubt whatever of his superior knowledge: though he never took the pains with me - not that I was anybody - that Mr. Mell had taken. ¡¡¡¡There was only one other event in this half-year, out of the daily school-life, that made an impression upon me which still survives.

He motioned her at last. "Give me a hand, I think I've got it figured out. Holdthis." He handed her one of the wires.

"He will learn," came the soothing voice of Kenobi. "He's too old," Yoda argued. "Yes. Too old, too set in his ways to start thetraining." Luke thought he heard a subtle softening in Yoda's voice. Perhaps there wasstill a chance to sway him. "I've learned much," Luke said. He couldn't give upnow. He had come too far, endured too much, lost too much for that. Yoda seemed to look right through Luke as he spoke those words, as if trying todetermine how much he had learned. He turned to the invisible Kenobi again."Will he finish what he begins?" Yoda asked. "We've come this far," was the answer. "He is our only hope." "I will not fail you," Luke said to both Yoda and Ben. "I'm not afraid
