"Against me me, the leading charity worker of our city!" snorted Trubus, but he watched the door uneasily. "Bring in the young ladies, Burke," directed Captain Sawyer. Bobbie returned with Mary and Lorna. Trubus started perceptibly as he observed the new telephone girl whom his wife had induced him to employ that day. Sawyer nodded again to Burke. "Now the go-between." He turned to Mary.
And this girl had had a rather unusually tough time of it, being an orphan and all that, and having had to do everything off her own bat for years. Mary and I got along together splendidly. We don't now, but we'll come to that later. I'm speaking of the past. She seemed to think Bobbie the greatest thing on earth, judging by the way she looked at him when she thought I wasn't noticing.
"Yes," said Maya, who had shrewdly guessed that Bobbie would not like her having overheard his conversation with Effie, the cricket, and did not want to hurt his feelings again. Bobbie ran hither and thither trying to look up and see Maya. "Wait," he said. "If I raise myself on my hind legs and lean against that blade of grass I'll be able to see you, and you'll be able to look into my eyes.
"And happy in spite of not finding your mother right yet?" interjected Jinnie. "Yes, yes, 'cause I am happy. I got my beautiful Peggy, ain't I? And don't she make me a hull lot of fine soup, and ain't I got Lafe, Happy Pete " "You got me, too, Bobbie," Jinnie reminded him gently. Bobbie acquiesced by a quick bend of his head, and Lafe grasped his hand.
There was an understanding between the three which needed no words for explanation. So it is that the sweetest love creeps into its final nestling place. "God bless you, my boy. I'm an old man and none too good, but I shall pray for your success." "Good bye," said Bobbie, as he and Mary left with the mechanism.
And I says, says I, 'Cause I thought she'd look fust-rate, says I, 'and I think so still. An' he says, 'DEW yer? Then ye can just pay for the bloomin' paint yerself, says he. An' I 'ad to, too." A murmur of sympathy ran round the room. Breaking noisily in on it came Bobbie. She burst open the swing door crying breathlessly: "Bill! I want Bill the Bargeman." There was a stupefied silence.
Now begin," and Miss Bradley said the first line. This helped Bobbie very much, and he got along all right until he came to the verse about the lamb following Mary to school. Bobbie got as far as, "It followed her to school one day which was " And there poor Bobbie "stuck." He couldn't think what came next. "It followed her to school one day school one day one day," he said slowly.
They found Uncle Bobbie, who had done all that was possible, sitting beside the still form on the couch. "You're too late, Doc," he said. "The poor chap was dead before George left the house." The physician made his examination. "You're right, Mr. Wicks," he answered, "we can do nothing here. Frozen to death. Must have died early in the evening."
And Bobbie seemed to think the same about her. So that I came to the conclusion that, if only dear old Bobbie didn't forget to go to the wedding, they had a sporting chance of being quite happy. Well, let's brisk up a bit here, and jump a year. The story doesn't really start till then. They took a flat and settled down. I was in and out of the place quite a good deal.
Boltwood about finances, one with Claire about mysterious persons called Fannie and Alden and Chub and Bobbie and Dot, the mention of whom made Milt realize how much a stranger he was. Once, as he passed by Claire, Jeff said gently, "You are lovely!" Only that, and he did not look at her. But Milt saw that Claire flushed, and her eyes dimmed.
