In the end it rather annoyed Young Thomas, He drove home at last in what was for him something of a temper. How on earth had that fool story started? With such detailed circumstantiality of rugs and quilts, too? Adelia Williams must be going to marry somebody, and the Valley View gossips, unable to locate the man, had guessed Young Thomas.
Finally, into a small shed or tool-house, behind Mrs. Baxter's flower-beds, went Clematis in a hurried and spasmodic manner. The instant the door slammed he lifted his voice and was bidden to use it now as much as he liked. Adelia, with a tray of used plates, encountered the son of the house as he passed through the kitchen on his return, and her eyes were those of one who looks upon miracles.
He had broken off in the midst of perpetuating in brevier type the circumstance that Adelia May Simsbury was home from normal school over Sunday to visit her parents, Rufus G. Simsbury and wife, north of town. "I'll go with you," Dave told Julius Farrow. "I can always find a little time for bankers. I never kept one waiting yet, and I won't begin now.
By George, I wouldn't!" "Oh, I don't think he would," she remonstrated, feebly. "Besides, the law wouldn't permit it." Mr. Baxter paced the floor. "Oh, I suppose they COULD manage it. They could go to some little town and give false ages and " He broke off. "Adelia was sure he had his suit-case?" She nodded.
Young Thomas kept wondering who the man could be, for he was convinced that Adelia was going to marry somebody. More than that, once he caught himself wondering enviously. Adelia was a nice-looking woman, and he had not so far heard of any probable housekeeper. "Dang it all," said Young Thomas to himself in desperation. "I wouldn't care if it was true."
Jessica Peixotto, full professor of economics, three associate and seven assistant professors and two assistant professors in the medical college. Lillian Harris Coffin, chairman of the State Legislative Committee; for matter on Southern California to Miss M. Frances Wills and Mrs. Adelia D. Wade. Mrs. Sperry was reelected the next six years.
Eben grinned broadly. "Ah, you can't bluff it off like that, Tom," he said. "The news came too straight this time. Well, I was glad to hear it, although I was mighty surprised. I never thought of you and Adelia. But she's a fine little woman and will make you a capital wife." Young Thomas grunted and drove away.
William halted fiercely. "What's the matter?" he demanded. "Is my face dirty?" "You mean, are it too dirty to go in yonduh to the party?" Adelia asked, slowly. "No, suh; you look all right to go in there. You lookin' jes' fine to go in there now, Mist' Willie!" Something in her tone struck him as peculiar, even as ominous, but his blood was up he would not turn back now.
At the same moment his eye caught the dazzling reflection of the setting sun on the windows of Adelia Williams's house, and he had an inspiration little short of diabolical. "Have you heard the news, Dan?" he asked. "No, what is it?" asked Dan. "I dunno's I ought to tell it," said Julius reflectively.
"Ma'am?" "Adelia said you went out, carrying your suit-case." "Oh yes," he said, languidly. "If you leave clothes at Schwartz's in the evening they have 'em pressed in the morning. You said I looked damp at dinner, so I took 'em over and left 'em there." "I see." Mrs. Baxter followed her husband to the door, but she stopped on the threshold and called back: "Don't sit there too long, Willie."
