The carriage which took Hannah home also took Miss McPherson to the door of her dwelling, a large, old-fashioned New England house, with a wide hall through the center, and a square room on either side; one the drawing-room or parlor in which the massive furniture had not been changed during the twenty years and more that Miss Betsey had lived there; the other the living room where the lady sat, and ate, and received her friends and where now a bright fire was burning in the Franklin stove, and the kettle was singing upon the hob, while a little round Swiss table was standing on the Persian rug before the fire, and on it the delicate cup and saucer, and sugar bowl, and creamer, which Miss McPherson had herself bought at Sevres years ago, when the life she looked forward to was very different from what had actually come to her.
Davies and Risk, when called to supper, smelled strongly of rose-scented cold-cream; and Lund was unsparing in sarcastic remarks on the extreme floridness of complexion of the entire party. "Ben, don't have any powder lying round loose to-morrow, with such a face as that. As for Creamer, he can't have any cotton sheets to-night, for fear of a conflagration.
Princeman grew cooler; "if you can get a proposition upon which we are all agreed, I'll take fifty thousand of that stock myself, at fifty." "As a matter of fact, Mr. Turner," added Mr. Cuthbert, "including your friend Creamer, who insists upon being in, I imagine that we can finance your entire company right in this crowd if the terms are right."
Creamer thanked Turner and Turner for reposing confidence enough in him to reveal their process and permit him to make experiments, and stated, with many convincing facts and figures, that he had made several separate samples of the pulp in his experimental shop, and from the pulp had made paper, samples of which he enclosed under separate cover, stating further that the pulp could be manufactured far cheaper than wood pulp, and that the quality of the paper, in his estimation, was even superior; and when the company was formed, he wished to be set down for a good, fat block of stock.
"We've got good pie, today. Dutch apple? Banana cream?" "Can't help myself," he said. "Dutch apple." "Warm that up," she said, stretching behind her for a coffee pot and filling his cup with one motion. "You want that pie heated?" "Sure." He added creamer to the coffee, relaxed, and looked at a large photograph hanging on the wall behind the counter.
Creamer have arrived and that you want to form that company right away." "Yes," admitted Sam. "Was she sarcastic about it?" Mr. Stevens closed his eyes and laughed. "Not exactly sarcastic," he stated; "but she did allude to your proposed corporation as 'that old company!" "I was afraid so," said Sam ruefully. Stevens surveyed him in amusement for a moment, and then in pity.
Blanche Creamer, the lady at whose house she had met him, mansion-house breed, but will come, soft on Dick; Dudley Venner, take care of him herself; Elsie, Dick will see to her, won't it fidget the Creamer woman to see him round her? the old Doctor, he 's always handy; and there's that young master there, up at the school, know him well enough to ask him, oh, yes, he'll come.
I have known of one or two instances." Mr. Creamer agreed, and the result was a sort of reaction in Norman's favor, in sentiment if not in action. It was arranged that Keith should go and make a deposit, and that Mr. Creamer should send a man to make a further one and offer Wentworth aid.
"This storm will last all night," said Davies, anxiously, "and we're only an hour to sundown. Creamer, here, started a little while ago to find out what you had shot. He lost his way, and was going right out to sea past me, when I called to him, and I thought we had better try to get ashore before it gets any darker."
At the right of the Hostess, Dudley Veneer, next him Helen Darley, next her Dr. Kittredge, next him Mrs. Blanche Creamer, then the Reverend Doctor. At the left of the Hostess, Bernard Langdon, next him Letty Forrester, next Letty Mr. Richard Veneer, next him Elsie, and so to the Reverend Doctor again.
