Owen, with great satisfaction, when she has a distinct grievance about clothes, "I do' know but you've heard it, about old Sergeant Copp an' his wife, that was always quarrellin'. Somebody heard her goin' on one day. Says she, 'I do wish somebody'd give me a lift as fur as Westmarket. I do feel's if I ought to buy me a cap.
"No, indeed, you won't," said Anne vehemently. "If you do the story of this will get out everywhere and I shall be ashamed to show my face. No, we must just wait until the Copp girls come home and bind them to secrecy. They'll know where the axe is and get me out. I'm not uncomfortable, as long as I keep perfectly still . . . not uncomfortable in BODY I mean.
I like writing such things, but of course nothing of the sort would ever do for publication, for editors insist on plots, so Priscilla says. Oh, there's Miss Sarah Copp now. PLEASE, Diana, go and explain." Miss Sarah Copp was a small person, garbed in shabby black, with a hat chosen less for vain adornment than for qualities that would wear well.
"Then how did it happen that he was not arrested?" "Micky was smart enough to drop the wallet into Dick's pocket as he was standin' before a shop winder. Then he got out of the way, and Dick was nabbed by the 'copp." "Is this Micky of whom you speak a friend of yours?" "No; he likes to bully small boys." "Then why didn't you tell the officer he had arrested the wrong boy?"
"Twenty dollars," said Anne, who was never meant to match business wits with a Copp, or she would not have offered her price at the start. "Well, I'll see," said Miss Sarah cautiously. "That platter is mine fortunately, or I'd never dare to sell it when Martha wasn't here. As it is, I daresay she'll raise a fuss. Martha's the boss of this establishment I can tell you.
She says the old Copp girls on the Tory Road have a willow-ware platter and she thinks it's exactly like the one we had at the supper.
"Miss Copp," she said earnestly. "I assure you I looked into your pantry window only to discover if you had a willow-ware platter. I didn't see anything else I didn't LOOK for anything else." "Bless you, that's all right," said Miss Sarah amiably. "You needn't worry there's no harm done. Thank goodness, we Copps keep our pantries presentable at all times and don't care who sees into them.
Help yourself, if you do," she said, and tucked a piece into her mouth absent-mindedly before she laid the leather-bound book open on the table. "Now, we'll see what information Mr. Copp can give us. He's a high authority General Land Office Commissioner, if you please. He's a few years old several years old, for that matter but I don't think he's out of date; I believe what he says still goes.
Morgan's heroines' always are, but they are always just simply ridiculous. Fancy what the Copp girls will think when they drive into their yard and see a girl's head and shoulders sticking out of the roof of one of their outhouses. Listen . . . is that a wagon? No, Diana, I believe it is thunder."
M-m-m!-'Liens on Mines' 'Clause Inserted in Patents' 'Affidavits Taken Without Notice to Opposing' oh, it must be here it's GOT to be here!" She was running a somewhat sticky forefinger slowly down the index pages. "It isn't alphabetically arranged, which I consider sloppy of Mr. Copp. Ah-h! 'Minerals Discovered After Patent Has Issued to Agricultural Claimant' two hundred and eight.
