"And Grenville, being a Prohibition centre, you might get this worked up for the Advertiser there." Mr. Bascom's agate eyes are full of light as he takes slip number three. Subject: "Mr. Humphrey Crewe has the best-stocked wine cellar in the State, and champagne every night for dinner." Crewe is a reformer because he has been disappointed in his inordinate ambitions," etc. Slip number five: "Mr.
They are abroad this summer, and I am going to camp here for a few weeks Mrs. Bascom and I. I paint a little, too, but only for fun." Brown murmured a conventionality concerning his delight at meeting the pair, and once more headed for the door. But Mrs. Bascom's curiosity would not permit him to escape so easily.
Tory Hill and Saco Hill met at the bridge, and just there, too, the river road began its shady course along the east side of the stream: in view of all which "old Mis' Bascom's settin'-room winder" might well be called the "Village Watch-Tower," when you consider further that she had moved only from her high-backed rocker to her bed, and from her bed to her rocker, for more than thirty years, ever since that july day when her husband had had a sun-stroke while painting the meeting-house steeple, and her baby Jonathan had been thereby hastened into a world not in the least ready to receive him.

He plodded along over the ties in a very hot condition of mind and body.

"She's very ill just now, isn't she?" "She's got the Bascom consumption. That means she may die in a month, like her brother, or linger on for twenty years, like her father.
