The voice of the other interlocutor Carol did not catch, nor, though Mrs. Bogart was proclaiming that he was her confidant and present assistant, did she catch the voice of Mrs. Bogart's God. "Another row with Cy," Carol inferred. She trundled the go-cart down the back steps and tentatively wheeled it across the yard, proud of her repairs. She heard steps on the sidewalk.
So long as you're decent, I'll put up with " But Mr. Smith was on his way to the gate, whistling as if he hadn't a care in the world. Captain Cy watched him go down the road, and then, with the drawn, weary look on his face which had been there since the day before, he entered the sitting room and threw himself into a chair. Miss Phoebe Dawes, the school teacher, worked late that evening.
"Where else kin he go?" inquired Patty Cannon, severely; "thar ain't no church left nigh yer, sence Chapel Branch went to rot for want of parsons' pay. Let him go to the tavern and learn to fight like a man, an' if the boys licks him, let him kill some of 'em. Then Joe and the Captain kin make somethin' of Cy James, an' people around yer'll respect him. Why, Captain, honey, ain't ye hungry?"
Let her know that there's one child she can't abuse." At the foot of the steps Asaph paused. "Say, Cy," he whispered, "don't you think I better not go in? It ain't really my business, you know, and and Well, I'm on the s'lectmen and she might be frightened if she see me pouncin' down on her. 'Tain't as if I was just a common man. I'll go and set along of Bailey and you go in and talk quiet to her.
"What do you think her mother 'll say when she sees that dress?" she asked. It was Emily's best gown, the finest of the new "rig out" prepared by Miss Taylor. The girl and Captain Cy gazed ruefully at the rents and pitch stains made by the vines and pine trees. "Well, you see," replied the abashed captain, "the fact is, she ain't got any mother." "Oh! I beg your pardon. And hers, too, poor dear.
I don't suppose I can do anything to help, but I'm going to try. So, you see, your army is bigger than you thought it was though the new soldier isn't good for much, I'm afraid," she added, with a little smile. Captain Cy was greatly disturbed.

"Fill up, now," he would say.
He winks at me, and growls when I touch him," muttered naughty Cy, remembering how much reason poor Sanch had to distrust his tormentor. "There 's Bab; she'll do it. Come here, sissy; Ben wants you," called Sam, beckoning to a small figure just perching on the fence. Down it jumped and Came fluttering up, much elated at being summoned by the captain of the sacred nine.
They thought she had gone, but she turned once more to add a final suggestion. "I think that dress could be fixed," she said, "if you took it to some one who knew about such things." She disappeared amidst the graveyard shrubbery. Captain Cy and Bos'n slowly followed her. From the pasture the red and white cow sent after them a broken-spirited "Moo!" Bos'n was highly indignant.
"And it's trouble for Cy Whittaker, I'm afraid. Poor old Cy! Well, WE'LL stand by him, anyhow. I don't believe he'll sleep much to-night. Didn't look as though he would, did he? Who IS that feller?"
