Business affairs of which he had sole charge were bound to go wrong when he could not wield power as he was wont. And these things all bothered him when the nagging pain of the broken leg increased, as it sometimes did, at night. "Oh, what should I have done without you, Mrs. Carringford?" breathed Janice, often taking comfort in the kindly woman's arms for a momentary hug.
Ransome, knew it, too, while these years she had comforted herself with the thought that, at least, it was her secret shame. Mrs. Carringford put an arm about her and kissed her. There was approval in the action. Emily looked at her, then laughed nervously, while a vivid scarlet rose to the roots of her chestnut hair.
If I had remembered when I saw Arlo Junior and the cats! Dear me," murmured Janice more than once, "'If, 'if, 'if! If the rabbit hadn't stopped for a nap beside the track, the tortoise would not have won the race." "But, what under the sun," Gummy Carringford asked, "could have become of Olga and her fella? That is certainly a mystery."
Carringford and the Days talked after Gummy had rushed out to drive back to Harriman's store. The dinner was late that night in the Day house. Indeed, Janice forgot, in all the confusion and excitement, to tell her father where she had been that afternoon, what she had gone for, and how sadly she had been disappointed.
Payne said, "that your husband was Alexander Carringford, of Cleveland?" The woman was somewhat surprised, but said that that statement was correct. She could not see, during the next few minutes' cross-examination, what these questions had to do with that little cottage in Mullen Lane, and whether her family was to be turned out of it or not.
"Well, I couldn't find nothing to make broth out of " "Or broth?" pursued Mrs. Carringford. "I know Mr. Day's appetite, and I do not believe that broken leg has made it any the less hearty." "Seems to me you know a good deal!" snapped Miss Peckham. "Specially about this kitchen." "You know, I have been working here for some time," Mrs. Carringford said. "Thank you, Miss Peckham. You need not stay.
"Father didn't name him that just for the money's sake. Mother says a million dollars wouldn't really pay for such a name. But father thought a lot of Uncle John Gumswith. "But when Gummy grows up, he will have to go through life, so he says, signing has name 'G. Carringford," and Amy began to giggle at this thought.
"No. I'm trimming an opera cloak with green ermine," said the boy, but grinning. "What are you doing around here in Dirty-face Lane?" "Oh, Gummy!" exclaimed Amy. "What a name to call the street!" objected Janice. "Well, that's what it is," returned the boy, continuing to pound the sod into place. "Nobody in this street ever washes his face." "Why Gummy Carringford!" exclaimed his sister again.
"Maybe he has something 'up his sleeve, as Gummy says," Janice observed. "Can that be possible, do you think, Daddy?" "Well, it is hard to say. Now that I have gone into this thing for Mrs. Carringford, I suppose I might go a little deeper. Do you know if she had the title to that property searched before she bought it?" "I'll ask her, Daddy." "Don't ask in a way to frighten her," advised Mr.
Property values Mullen Lane are going up." "Oh, dear me!" sighed Mrs. Carringford, starting back toward the kitchen, "this is a wicked world." "Nothing the matter with the world," said Mr. Day, cheerfully. "It's some of the folks in it." He called Mr. Randolph E. Payne's office then and talked to the successful lawyer for some time.
