[R] can't get summary() in loop

The problem is illustrated below:

line<-function(x,y)
{
fit<-lm(y~x)
fit
}

func<-function()
{
 x<-c(1,2,3,4)
 y<-c(1.1,2,3,4)

for(i in 1:2)
	{
	fit<-line(x,y)
 	summary(fit)
 	}
}

Why don't I get two printed summaries when I run func()? How to make it
work? (In reality I will be getting different summaries of different data
sets using this loop)

Thanks very much for any help.
