When he went to the Bronson's house on Saturday, in good season, Mr. Bronson met him cordially, in the library. "Well, my boy, they all tell me you have done it!" exclaimed the Westerner. "Done what?" queried Hiram. "Made the most money per acre for Mrs. Atterson that this county ever saw. Is that right?" "I've succeeded in what I set out to do," said Hiram, modestly.
Bronson's offer of a position and had elected to stick by Mrs. Atterson. He had looked forward to nothing to disturb the contract between them until the time should be fulfilled. Yet one afternoon, while he was at work in the garden, Sister came out to him all in a flurry. "Mis' Atterson wants you! Mis' Atterson wants you!" cried the girl. "Oh, Hiram! something dreadful's going to happen.
Bronson's 'salon' was hospitably open whenever her health allowed; but her natural refinement, and the conservatism which so strongly marks the higher class of Americans, preserved it from the heterogeneous character which Anglo-foreign sociability so often assumes.
To make this confusion even more interesting, the business names that appear on vitamin bottles are not the real manufacturers. Bronson's Pharmaceuticals is a distributor and marketer, not a manufacturer. The same is true of every vitamin company I know of. These companies buy bulk product by the barrel or sack; then encapsulate, blend and roll pills, bottle and label, advertise and make profit.
For a moment George thought she might have been injured, but, before he reached the kitchen, he heard her sweeping at the fragments, and turned back. He put off speaking to Fanny until morning. Things more insistent than his vague plans for a sofa-bed in Bronson's office had possession of his mind as he went upstairs, moving his hand slowly along the smooth walnut railing of the balustrade.
"And this has been going on ever since she went there. She has had it in mind to wear your mother's jewels " Derry had graphically described Bronson's watch on the stairs "to get your father's money. I knew she was cold-blooded, but I had always thought it a rather admirable quality in a woman of her attractive type."
The gold had represented the season's washings an amount that went into the hundreds of thousands and Rutheford had murdered his benefactor and absconded with the entire amount. No living human being except Rutheford himself knew where the mine lay; there was no way for Bronson's family either to reclaim the body or to continue to work on the mine.
Jimmie Bronson's opinion of Mifflin bothered Mary Rose and she discussed it with everyone. It was not until they had all agreed with her that people and places are what you think they are that she felt comfortable again. "I knew I was right all the time," she told Aunt Kate.
The quarrel grew furious. At last Sam drove his fist down on the table and said he was through with the outfit and was going back to Saguache. "Yo tambien," agreed Curly. "Not that I've got anything against the horse ranch. That ain't it. But I'm sure pining for to bust the bank at Bronson's. 'Round and round the little ball goes, Where it will land nobody knows.
4:15 Had Mrs. P. bring telephone book: six Llewellyns in the book; no Eliza Shaeffer. Ladley appears more cheerful since Bronson's visit. He has bought all the evening papers and is searching for something. Has not found it. 7:00 Ate well. Have asked Mrs. P. to take my place here, while I interview the six Llewellyns. 11:00 Mrs. P. reports a quiet evening. He read and smoked. Has gone to bed.
