Clem's history was known, of course, and during these busy days the town made it a point to pass his door in friendly curiosity about the belongings of his mistress. When these could not be satisfactorily appraised from the yard, they sauntered up to the porch and surveyed Clem in the front room at his work of unpacking and cleaning.
They were afraid, evidently, of having their boat stove in by the wreck of the mast. At last they approached us cautiously. "Come, Clem, we will swim to her," I said. "Catch tight hold of my jacket; I have got strength enough left in me for that." We had not far to go, but I found it a tougher job than I expected.
When she gits to rantin' about anythin' I've done ur hain't done all I got to do to shet 'er up is to start to tell 'er some'n somebody's has said about somebody else, an' she gits 'er cheer. So I try to keep a stock o' things on hand. Clem Dill's afeerd o' Mis' Dawson now.
It was calm enough, but there was a resistance in it that promised to be unbreakable. And to my never-ending wonder she seemed still to be more concerned about Clem than about her daughter. "Will you go to her?" I asked. She smiled. "That could hardly be afforded just now." "You could manage it, I think. Clem has some money due from me." "Even so, I couldn't leave Clem.
Gridley," she said, "and I've been wanting to tell you something ever so long. My friend Mr. Clem Clement Lindsay does n't care for me as he used to, I know he does n't. He hasn't written to me for I don't know but it's a month. And O Mr. Gridley! he's such a great man, and I am such a simple person, I can't help thinking he would be happier with somebody else than poor little Susan Posey!"
'I know the man, Clem Sypher himself. And the friends are convinced and go about saying they know a man who knows Clem Sypher, and so the thing spreads like a snowball. Have you read the pamphlet?" "It was most interesting," said Zora mendaciously. "I thought you'd find it so. I've brought something in my pocket for you."
"Yet a cross means much to many, and always will while the land continues to call itself Christian." "I knaw, I knaw. 'Twill call itself Christian long arter your time an' mine; as to bein' Christian that's another story. Clem Hicks lightened such matters to me fule though he was in the ordering of his awn life. But s'pose you digs the post up, for argeyment's sake.
His eyes shone, nevertheless, as Clem set a cup of coffee at his elbow and brought a plate. "May I ask when you arrived?" I questioned. "Only last evening." "Then you dined at the City Hotel?" "Major Blake, I will be honest with you I did!" "Clem, another omelette, quick but first fetch some oranges, then put on a lot more of that Virginia ham and mix up some waffles, too. Hurry along!"
What are the Powers of Darkness in your case, Sir Red Cross Knight?" "Jebusa Jones's Cuticle Remedy," said Sypher savagely. That was Clem Sypher's Dragon Jebusa Jones's Cuticle Remedy. He drew so vivid a picture of its foul iniquity that Zora was convinced that the earth had never harbored so scaly a horror. Of all Powers of Evil in the universe it was the most devastating.
Thus Clem said to me a few weeks later, and I praised his thoughtfulness. But I nursed misgivings both for Miss Caroline and for Little Arcady. How would they take each other? I conceived Miss Caroline to be a formidable person whom Little Miss resembled, Clem said, "as aigs look lahk aigs."
