"Hurry now, Roody; you know how Bleema likes it you should be dressed."
Tell her it's madness tell her she's ruining herself." "Why, Miss Bleema, there's nothing much a a stranger like me can say at a time like this. It's only unfortunate that I happened to be here. If I were you, though, I think I'd take a little time to think this over. Sometimes a young girl ." "I have thought it over, Mr. Feist. For weeks and weeks I've thought of nothing else.
Suddenly Miss Pelz burst into tears, a hot cascade of them that flowed down over her prettiness. "Why, Bleema!" "Now, now, papa's girl " The grandmother made a quick gesture of uplifted hands, leaning over toward her, and Miss Pelz hiding her face against that haven of shrunken old bosom. "Oh, grandma, make 'em let me alone!" "Why, Bleema darling, I'm surprised!

Then, with carefully spaced words, "If I didn't think, Bleema, that you are crazy for the moment, infatuated with " "I'm not infatuated!" "Bleema, Bleema, don't talk to your father so ugly!" "Well, I guess I know my own mind.
I'll be waiting. Good-by!" All this unavailingly flung to the great hulk of boat moving so proud of bow and so grandly out to sea, decks of faces and waving kerchiefs receding quickly. "Good-by darling oh oh " "'Sh-h 'sh-h-h, Miss Bleema. Here take another of mine. Yours is all wet again. My what a rainy day! Here let me dry them for you. Hold still!" "Oh oh cable every day, darling write oh, Mr.
"Lester Lester, a cable every day!" "Bleema, will you please let the man catch his boat? It's an embarrassment to even watch you." "Lester Lester " "Yes, yes; good-by, everybody!" "I'll be out at the pier-edge wave back, darling!" "Yes, yes! Good-by, Miss Beautiful! By, all!" And then, from an upper deck, more and more shouted farewells. "They're moving! Come, Mr.
