He has good looks, good manners, a good deal of money, I am told, and it is said that Miss Clara which is the main point, after all is very much in love with him." "H'm," said David after a moment. "How do you git along with the Verjoos girls? Was Claricy's ears pointed all right when you seen her fust after she come home?"
"You're awfully kind," said John gratefully, "but I don't know when I shall be coming home." "Come back when you git a good ready," said Mr. Harum.
