There are many of my readers who recall the popular players of years ago McBride, Wright, Fisler, Sensenderfer, McMullen, Start, Brainard, Gould, Leonard, Dean, Spalding, Sweeney, Radcliffe, McDonald, Addy, Pierce, and a score of others. Among them all I recall none still in the field.
Then her eyes narrowed suddenly. "Don't don't you think he's straight, Addy?" she half-whispered. "I confess I'm puzzled. I never dreamed of doubting him when I went there. But I've been doing a lot of thinking since I saw him, and, by George, Mary, I'm up a tree. Good Lord, if he should be well, if he should be putting something over on Alix, he ought to be shot, that's all.
Between Withers and Adelaide the relations were plainer; indeed, before the small Splurge set they appeared as avowed lovers. Toward "Addy" Withers was all elegant devotion and gracious gallantry, knight-like in his chivalric and debonair devoir.

You'll have your hands full if you're going to be Mother Carey's chickens." "I'd love to show good birds the way home!" said Gilbert. "Can a naughty bird show a good bird the way home, Addy?"
"Nay, nay: Addy likes a ride on my shoulder. I can carry him so for a bit." A kindness which young Addy acknowledged by drumming his heels with promising force against Uncle Seth's chest.

He was not aware of her entrance until she appeared directly in front of him. "Hello!" he exclaimed, blinking. "What is on your mind, Addy?" He glanced over his shoulder. "Where is Alix?"

When they had a wedding that night, and Buck and Addy got married, we got ourselves up in the very starchiest of the professor's duds for the blow-out, and when they danced we jined in and shook a foot up there.
