"I thought all Waupegan people preferred it to the Maine coast or Europe." "Oh, I suppose they do," said Marian. "But I think I could live through a season somewhere else. It will be good fun to have Aunt Sally's house open again. She must be making money out of that farm now. I suppose Sylvia's grandfather didn't have much money.
He'll not give you any more fur- robes, that's sure. He got away from the tavern, though, and he's hiding somewhere.
