And if poppa didn't wish her back to give out altogether, would he please return to the carriage.
We'll see about this." He went back to his women folk and mumbled, "Come on up-stairs." They followed, Mrs. Thropp murmuring to Kedzie: "Looks like poppa was goin' to be sick. I'm afraid he et too much of that rich food." The elevator flashed them to their empyrean floor. Adna did not speak till they were in their room and he had lowered himself feebly into a chair.
