Very promptly the next morning Mr. John Smith and his two trunks appeared at the door of his new boarding-place. Mrs. Jane Blaisdell welcomed him cordially. She wore a high-necked, long-sleeved gingham apron this time, which she neither removed nor apologized for unless her cheerful "You see, mornings you'll find me in working trim, Mr. Smith," might be taken as an apology.
Oh, let me ask this: Has this er office of yours got a good front window?" "Front window! What in time ? Yes, I guess likely the front window's all right. But what does a lawyer want of a front window?" "To look out of. About all a young lawyer does is look out of the window. Now about a boarding-place?" Captain Obed had been waiting for this question.
But his nerves were not strong enough to execute so foolhardy a resolution. He seemed to see a man behind every maple-trunk. Darkness was fast coming on, and he knew that his absence from supper at his boarding-place could not fail to excite suspicion. There was no time to be lost. So he started. Once run from a danger, and panic is apt to ensue.
Do your hunches often take you like that right out of a perfectly good show you've paid your money to see?" "We've made a mistake. It was seein' that fellow in the play that put me wise. Have you got the note with you?" "No. It's at home. If you like we'll go and get it." They walked up to the Pioneers' Monument and from there over to her boarding-place.
This is the critical moment. Will she adhere to her new-found employment? If she do, one of her companions will volunteer to take her to a boarding-place and from that hour she is lost.
Or was the landlady of my former home alone to blame for its being lost or mislaid? Had it been daylight I should have at once gone down to my former boarding-place to inquire; but as it was ten o'clock at night, I could only satisfy my impatience by going carefully over the incidents of that memorable day, in the hope of rousing some memory which would lead to an elucidation of this new mystery.
She can have a boarding-place, and yet spend much of her time with us." "Yes, indeed," said Mrs. Jeremy; "and, if you feel set about it, Gerty, dear, I am sure I shall want you to do whatever pleases you best; but one thing I do insist on, and that is, that you leave this house, which must look very dreary, this very day, go home with me, and stay until you get recruited."
On their return to their boarding-place, they joined a party that had been formed to go to the Cliff, a sandy bluff about a mile north from the town, where they were told was to be found the best still-water bathing on the island.
He had determined upon taking a boarding-place somewhere in correspondence with his change of fortunes and when he had spoken of it, the Judge had said: "Why not come up to my house? Mrs. Brown and I get kind of lonesome sometimes, and then I hate to milk, an' curry horses, an' split kindlings, always did. Come up and try living with us." Bradley had accepted the offer with the greatest delight.
