"Wait until I see if they are here," he instructed Janet, "and then I will come back for you." His new acquaintances were sitting on the bench beside the doorway as he came up the hill, Polly in a very trim blue dress and without her apron, but the Beeman in his same dilapidated overalls. The girl had a notebook on her knee and was putting down records at her father's dictation.
Suddenly a sharp whistle came from the darkness ahead. "Thet's Roy," said Joe Beeman, in a low voice. "I reckon. An' meetin' us so quick looks bad," replied Dale. "Drive on, Bill." "Mebbe it seems quick to you," muttered the driver, "but if we hain't come thirty mile, an' if thet ridge thar hain't your turnin'-off place, why, I don't know nothin'."
The Bear Hunter, Björnson. Master and Man, Leo Tolstoi. The Doll's House, Henrik Ibsen. The Minister's Black Veil, Nathaniel Hawthorne. The Ambitious Guest, Nathaniel Hawthorne. The Beeman of Orn, Frank R. Stockton. A Branch Road, Hamlin Garland. Mateo Falcone, Prosper Mérimée. The Death of the Dauphin, Alphonse Dadoed. The Birds' Christmas Carol, Kate Douglas Wiggin.
The sunshine was very clear and hot over the valley below, but the oak tree spread its broad shadow all about them and bowed its lofty head to a fresh, salt-laden wind. "See how still the trees are along the river," said the Beeman, "but the oak tree is never quiet. The breeze comes past that gap in the hills, yonder where you can look through to the sea, and it seems never to stop blowing.
Hawtrey admitted it. "Of course," he said. "You feel sure I could do it by holding on?" His companion seldom answered a question of this kind. It was apt to lead to unpleasantness afterwards. "Well," he said, "Beeman, and Oliphant, and Barstow are operating for a fall. One would fancy that you were safe in doing what they do. When men of their weight sell forward figures go down."
"We sure did," replied Bo, archly. "Aw!" breathed Auchincloss, heavily. "Lemme set down." He drew the girls to the rustic seat Dale had built for them under the big pine. "Oh, you must be tired! How how are you?" asked Helen, anxiously. "Tired! Wal, if I am it's jest this here minit. When Joe Beeman rode in on me with thet news of you wal, I jest fergot I was a worn-out old hoss.
They went out to the garage, got into the car, and set off along the familiar way toward the Windy Hill. "Just to see if they are there," as Oliver said to Janet. They came up the slope through the grass and saw the blue wood smoke rising lazily above them, unmistakable signal that the Beeman was at work.
Beeman argued that Petersen could win more points than the rest of the school put together and that it would be unpatriotic, unmanly, disgraceful and un-Siwash-like not to select him. Bailey, the third member, was an Eta Bita Pie, and while sub-Freshmen are not supposed to be anything with Greek letters on, we understood each other, and I was to be initiated the next fall.
This morning on her rounds she had expected developments of some kind, owing to the presence of Roy Beeman and two of his brothers, who had arrived yesterday. And she was to discover that Jeff Mulvey, accompanied by six of his co-workers and associates, had deserted her without a word or even sending for their pay. Carmichael had predicted this. Helen had half doubted.
Brown, and Oliver, also, was looking forward to the day with some anticipation. "I wonder if the Beeman and Polly will be there," he thought, and went off into further speculation as to what the Beeman would look like in the more civilized clothes that such an occasion would demand. "I might not even know him," he reflected.
