"Solon Denney, you may return that ribbon at once to its owner!" With a conscious smirk, amid the titters of the room and the sharp raps of the ruler on Miss Berham's desk, Solon swaggered offensively to the seat that enshrined my idol, and flung down the scarlet treasure before her.
Billy also brought two messages to Solon: one from Potts that he had been mistaken about the attitude of Little Arcady toward himself that he was seeing this more clearly every minute. The other was from Hoffmuller. Solon Denney was to know that some people might be just as good as other people who thought themselves a lot better, and would he please not take some shingles off a man's roof?
She'll drive up to git Cal from his office at four-thirty it's right across there over the bank where that young fellow is settin' in the window that's young Cal Denney, studyin' law with Blake. You just wait and see she'll drive up in about six minutes." The wanderer waited, out of pure cordiality to Mr. Keyts.
"Here I've worried over the thing for two months, studied it in court, studied it in my office, studied it in bed and couldn't make a thing out of it. All at once I am guided to a welling fount of wisdom, and the thing is solved in a flash. Solon, you dazzle me! Denney forever!" "Now, don't be funny, Calvin I mean, don't try to be " but I arose to go. "You've solved it, Solon.
Lacking war, I sought distraction in a matter close at hand one which possessed quite all the vivacity of war without its violence. Early in the summer Mrs. Aurelia Potts had resumed her activities in behalf of our broader culture, whereupon our people murmured promptly at Solon Denney; for him did Little Arcady still hold to account for the infliction of this relentless evangel.
In that event she might, it is true, have read us more papers and sold us fewer books; but she would have allowed herself as little leisure. That Little Arcady was unequal to this broader view, however, was to be inferred from comments made in the hearing of and often, in truth, meant for the ears of Solon Denney.
Aurelia Potts Denney, wife of the editor, a public-spirited woman, prominent in club circles, and said to be of great assistance to her husband in his editorial duties. The town was proud of her, and sent her as delegate to the Federation of Woman's Clubs; her name, indeed, has been printed in full more than once, even by Chicago newspapers.
Solon Denney, who had experienced the hospitality of Miss Caroline, and who could speak from a wider knowledge than our minister or the ladies of the town, had once said: "Those mint juleps are simple, honest things. They taste injurious from the start. But that punch it's hypocritical.
"I have the honour of sendin to you this morning with humble manner I was to the Honour D. Denney yesterday, about the trouble what I have, I was take work from the church-yard, and I finish it, the gentlemen I must made petition and I cannot tell who will go to please to help me from this trouble if I will get the money from the gentleman.
A less impulsive man than Solon Denney might have found cause for misgiving in this circumstance of Potts's prompt exodus. In the immediate flush of his triumph, however, the editor of the Argus had no leisure for negative reflections, and when misgiving did at last find root in his mind, the time had come for him to receive the lady.
