I certainly had no recollection of it. She was the daughter of the antiquarian friend of M. Grimani, who had placed me as a boarder with the accursed Sclavonian woman. I could not help smiling, for I recollected that her mother had loved me. Shop-boys soon began to make their appearance, bringing pieces of goods, and the face of Madame C brightened up.
Buffum's attempt to respond to this address ended in a wheeze and a cough. "Have ye got room for another boarder to-night? Faith, I never expected to come to the poor-house, but here I am. I'll take entertainment for man or beast. Which is the best, and which do you charge the most for? Somebody's got to keep me to-night, and ye're the man to bid low."
"And are you alone now, Aunt Sally, or is your sister still with you? I heard she was going back to Ohio." "Yes, she's gone and I'm alone," sighed Aunt Sally; "at least, I'm not quite alone. I have a boarder at present." "Oh, have you!" exclaimed Phyllis, guilefully, as if it were all news to her. "Why, that's very nice. I hope the boarder will stay a long while. It will be some company for you."
It was not, but Peggy began preparations by screaming melodiously for Teresina. They heard the boarder sigh. He was a tall young man with inspired eyes and oily hair. Peter had observed him the night before, with some interest. "That's Guy Vyvian," Peggy told him, looking for Illuminato's dryer suit in the china cupboard. "Fancy," said Peter.
In town he walked about the hotel, entertained the guests, carved at the meals, hovered about the stores, the doctors' offices, the wagon and blacksmith shops, discussed mercantile, medical, mechanical questions with specialists in all these departments, throwing into them all more and more of politics as the intimacy between him and his patron and chief boarder increased.
"Is there a boarder in the house named Leach?" he made inquiry of the servant who came up with his baggage. "There is," was replied. "Will you ascertain if he is in, and say that I wish to see him?" "What name, sir?" inquired the servant. "No matter. Give the number of my room." The servant departed, and in a few minutes conducted a man to the apartment of the stranger.
There ain't no profit in one boarder, and we never take boarders, anyhow. But I thought 'twould be a chance for the young ones to learn something about how foreign folks lived." She broke again into her epic laugh. "Why, Abby, 'twould ha' made you die to see us the first few days she was there, tryin' to get somethin' out'n her. Italy, now ... had she been there?
One man he felled with his chain-shot; then flung it aside. "Naked does it!" he roared, and swept up a boarder in his arms. "Ow, the luscious little armful! no good kickin, duckie! You've got to ave it!" He rushed to the side, hugging his man, and screaming fearful laughter. "Love me and forgive me, pretty tartie!" he roared, and smashed his burthen down over the side.
In fact, ever since a boarder of hers, not wholly unknown to the reading public, brought her establishment into notice, it has attracted a considerable number of literary and scientific people, and now and then a politician, like the Member of the House of Representatives, otherwise called the Great and General Court of the State of Massachusetts.
You just wait once and see how long it goes till the boys commence to hang round this fancy Isabel." Millie hadn't long to wait. Through Mrs. Landis, who had been to Mennonite church and noticed a stranger with the Reist family, Martin Landis soon knew of the boarder. That same evening he dressed in his best clothes.
