"I feel better than I have done for a long time," she concluded, as bearing the implements used in the adventure we three, who had agreed upon secrecy, made towards the house. "So do I," said Carry. "If we could only do it to all who deserve the like, it would be grand!" Electioneering matters ripened, and so did Carry's love affair with Larry Witcom.
"I saw her out there doing a mash with Larry Witcom," said Andrew. "Now, do you think there'll be anything in that?" interestedly asked Mrs Bray. "I suppose she'd be glad to ketch anything for a home of her own." "Well, it's to be hoped the home she'd catch with him would be better than some of the meat we've caught from him lately it was as tough as old boots," put in Dawn.
In the forenoon Larry Witcom drove Carry to vote in state otherwise a brand-new sulky he had recently purchased; and such is human nature that we were all sufficiently malicious to be secretly pleased that poor old Uncle Jake could not vote at all, because he had only an obsolete red elector's right, and he should have procured an up-to-date blue one.
It's because you are the same stamp as so many of the men that we've been kept down so long as we have; and now, what about me taking up with Larry Witcom?" "Well, it's well known what Larry is." "Well, what is he?" "You ask him about Mrs Park's divorce case." "I hope you don't think your old man is a saint, do you? As big a fool as you are, you're surely not fool enough for that, are you?
When Carry, Dawn, and I arrived at the Citizens' Hall, Ernest was already waiting to act groom, while Larry Witcom also accidentally hovered near.
She's been terrible good lately, and deserves somethink. Here's Larry Witcom arrove, an' there's Carry gone out to him. I want to see him meself; he's been a little too strong with his prices lately, but he's the obliginest feller in many ways. I don't hear anythink about it not bein' Carry's week in the kitchen w'en Larry comes. She's always ready to give Dawn a hand then.
"And what else have you got to say?" "I want an explanation of the aspersion on my character when you said I had taken up with Larry Witcom. I'm not going to stand anything on my character in that line if I am earning my living, and you are the mother of one or fourteen families, all as great a credit to you as the one Jack represents. And as for me earning my living, what are you doing?
You get the pony out, an' make the coffee, an' hold your tongue." Andrew and I had undertaken to make the coffee for supper, and thus give Carry, whose week in the kitchen it was, a chance to go to the meeting. They all arrived from it after a time Dawn and the knight together, Carry and Larry Witcom following. Oh, where was "Dora"? "Who's that with you, Carry?" asked Andrew.
"They'll give you plenty of that kind of yarn if you listen to 'em; an' if you are built so you can believe it, well an' good, but the facts was always too much of a eye-opener for me," and with that the contention ended. "Yes, Carry's the terriblest silly about that Larry Witcom," said Dawn; "she swallows all he says. She said to me yesterday, 'He seems to be terribly gone on me. 'Yes, I said.
I reckon she'd have to look not such a mad-headed rabbit before I'd give her anything but some advice to bag her head. And he must be a different uncle to Uncle Jake; I reckon he wouldn't give you nothing if you had on two heads at once. Here's Larry Witcom coming back from his rounds, and he promised me a bit of meat for Whiskey! Here, Whiskey!
