Like all the other Barlows of Barnstable on Cape Cod, Billy had worked for his every penny. He was no shirker. From the first day that he carried a pair of pliers in the leg pocket of his overalls, and in a sixty-knot gale stretched wires between ice-capped telegraph poles, he had more than earned his wages.
But I've never seen her except with the Barlows, and when she was down at the Hurly-Burly she was just about as uncertain as the rest of them." "Is the Hurly-Burly the Barlow homestead?" "Well, it's their summer home, and it's really a lovely place. But its name just expresses it.
"Indeed you must" said Nan, "and now I'll sing you the song of the Barlow family; they won't sing it themselves, but when you learn it, you and I can warble it together." "Sing a song of Barlows, A family full of fun; A father and a mother, A daughter and a son. "When the door is open Hear the family sing! All the people passing by Run like anything."
But when she wrote that night to her father, she said: "I'm glad you didn't describe my aunts to me, but let me discover their traits for myself. For, really, I never would have believed a family could act like the Barlows. They are out of proportion every way, but, after all, I can't help loving them, for they are such dear, kind people, and they mean to do right, only they never do anything."
But you will not be surprised to learn that it was not replaced by a more sightly affair until after the Barlows had returned to their city home. As the end of her visit at the Hurly-Burly drew near, Patty felt great regret at the thought of leaving the merry, careless crowd.
He could bear to see them sorry, and feel that by their sorrow they honored the memory of his child. But for the rest the village herd, with the Barlows in their train he had no affinity, and his manner was as haughty and distant as ever as he passed through their midst back to the carriage, which took him again to the farmhouse.
"How about going for a few days to your friends, the Barlows, at San Mateo?" he had said, his hand folded tight on hers. "The Barlows!" she exclaimed. "The Barlows haven't asked me." That was the sort of thing she was always saying and he had to answer with patient softness. "I know that, dear one, but why can't you tell Lorry that they have.
In the cab they crystallized into a definite resolution: as soon as Chrystie came back from the Barlows' she would have an old-time, intimate talk with her and find out if anything really was the matter with the child. At the opera it was so exciting and so wonderful that everything else was wiped out of her mind. In the front of the box she sat its sole ornament against a background of Mrs.
Of the Quaifes and the Scottons and the Barlows I have nothing but dreary memories. They do not mean cricket to me. And even Shrewsbury and Hayward left me cold. They were too faultily faultless, too icily regular for my taste. They played cricket not as though it was a game, but as though it was a proposition in Euclid. And I don't like Euclid.
When he had finished he could not trust his voice, and staring at the paper, he heard her say: "I've known for some time Chrystie was troubled and not herself, and this afternoon when I saw her go I knew something was wrong. She looked ill; she could hardly speak to me. And then that came, and I telephoned to the Barlows' the place she was going.
