I understand now," said Dab. "Understand what?" "Why, those fellows in the village that sent me out here were playing a joke on us, a good deal like one of Joe and Fuz Hart's." "Best kind of a joke.
The words she really uttered were somewhat more formal; but the good, quiet-looking little minister and very quiet-looking little wife were still shaking hands with Dick, that is, with his right hand, when he turned almost eagerly, and caught hold of Dab Kinzer with his left.

The remaining days of their visit would have been altogether too few for the varied entertainments he laid out for them, in his own mind, by way of reparation for his unlucky "practical joke."
