Miss Flora shook her head. "I can't. I left everything just as it was and ran, when I got the letter. I'll get a paper myself on the way home. I'm going to call up Hattie, too, on the long distance. My, it's 'most as exciting as it was when it first came, the money, I mean, isn't it?" panted Miss Flora as she hurried away. The Blaisdells bought many papers during the next few days.
He showed some of the interesting letters he had received from various Blaisdells far and near, and he spread before him the genealogical page of his latest "Transcript," and explained how one might there stumble upon the very missing link he was looking for. But Mr. Frank Blaisdell was openly bored.
It was certainly a gay one that holiday week. Beginning with the James Blaisdells' housewarming it was one continuous round of dances, dinners, sleigh-rides and skating parties for Hillerton's young people particularly for the Blaisdells, the Pennocks, and the Gaylords. Mr.
She snuggled closer to him. In the morning, of course, they saw the apartment. And it was almost uncanny, Shirley declared, how exactly it matched what she had had in mind. She proceeded to place in fancy David's chairs and desk and lamps, the dining-room furniture that was to be Maizie's wedding gift and the mahogany bedroom suite the Jim Blaisdells had given them.

And the Snows were just as good as the Blaisdells, if I do say it. There were a lot that wanted me oh, I was pretty THEN, Mr. Smith." She laughed, and bridled again self-consciously. "But I took Jim.
