She probably thought you were like some of the other story-writers; she couldn't feel differences, shades. She pretended to be taken with the circumstances of your work, but she had to do that if she wanted to fool you. Well, she has got her come-uppings, as she would probably say." Verrian replied, thoughtfully, "She didn't strike me as a country person at least, in her first letter."
"Well," says I, "he needed it considerable." "But," says he, still more solemn, "the good book says to honour thy father and thy mother." "Well," I says, "mebby it does and mebby it don't. But HE ain't my father, nohow. And he ain't been getting no more'n his come-uppings." "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord," the big man remarks, very serious.

A frightful thought stung Lemuel to life. "The judge? Was it a passenger-ship?" The other stopped buttoning Lemuel's trousers round him to slap himself on the thigh.
"These young people with their careers are too stimulating for spinster cousins who have never had anything more exciting than night-work on a city paper.
