The driveway down to the lane was rolled and hardened, and a sign, painted by Joshua Bemis, the local "House, Boat and Sign Painter, Tinsmith and Glazier" see Mr. Bemis's advertisement in the Advocate was hung on a frame by the gateway. Captain Shad's remarks when he first saw that sign may be worth quoting. Mary had not consulted him concerning it; she deemed it best not to do so.
Every time we avalanched from one end of the stage to the other, the Unabridged Dictionary would come too; and every time it came it damaged somebody.

My husband got a bad fall once, one icy Sunday as we were coming home from the church. They had to carry him into Mr. John Bemis's house, and he did not come to for several hours.

"You are going on with me!
"Polly, Polly!" he cried to the portrait, "I'm coming. Just hold on." He strode bark to the table and pressed a bell. "Tell Reynolds to pack me up, Bemis," he charged the astonished butler. "Tell him it's for Montana in a rush. Have a machine ready for me in fifteen minutes." Even Bemis's constitutional aversion to haste was overridden.
