But wait! did he know the handwriting? at thought of Dexie Sherwood's previous productions coming to his mind. Ah! that last verse seemed to throw out a hint! He looked at his tormentor closely, and doubted. That envelope, yes, Gussie must have sent it, for she had spelled his name "Danuel." He never would have thought that Gussie would be guilty of such a thing.
Purchasing this caricature of a shad, she pasted below it a version of the affectionate lines of Widow Bedott; then enclosing it in an elaborate envelope, she addressed it with many flourishes to: "MR. DANUEL SHADRACH PLAISTED," and carried it herself to the post office.
The loving words he expected to find were certainly there, yet as he read them a dark frown gathered on his brow: "Dear Danuel Shadrach! thy valentine speaks, While the rosy red blushes surmantle her cheeks; And the joys of requital brings tears to her eye. Now, Shadrach! my Shadrach! I'm yours till I die.
I am just as close regarding my second name as Dexie is about her own so close, in fact, that not one of my schoolmates ever found it out." "But did they never ask what the 'S. stood for?" Gussie asked. "Of course! but Danuel gave it as Samuel, and had to answer to the name of 'Danuel Samuel'; but that was better than the changes they would have rung on my right name."
