I won't say I didnt read the occasional accounts of the weed appearing in Time or the newspapers, or watch films of it in the movies with more than common interest, but it was no longer an engrossing factor in my life.
I could easily have taken her for a trip in the States, where we could have stopped a few months in South Dakota and got divorced without any scandal. I have never made any claims on her since she found out that she didnt care for me; and she might have known from that that I was not the man to keep her against her will and play dog in the manger with a fellow like Douglas.
I mean when you saw him?" "Nothing happened. I was mowing in the garden. He just walked in; bade me good morning; admired the place; and told me he came with a message from you that things were getting hot here. Then he went off, as cool as you please. He didnt seem to mind." "And he warned you, in spite of all." "More for your sake than for mine, I suspect. He's rather sweet on you, isnt he?"
This retiring gentleman was rumored to be completely illiterate, an unquestionable slander, for he had written checks to support every cause dedicated to keeping wages where they belonged and seeing the wage earners didnt waste the money so benevolently supplied by their employers. I got the details of the interview from the interviewer himself.
Of course it was more convenient and timesaving to bring them both together and I was sure she didnt expect me to follow instructions to the letter, like an officeboy, any more in these matters than she had in her restriction to agricultural use. Still, it was remiss of me.
Sometimes she used to defy me, and say she would drink, she didnt care whether she was killing herself or not. Other times she cried; implored me to save her from destroying herself; asked me why I didnt thrash the life out of her whenever I caught her drunk; promised on her oath never to touch another drop.
"She looks as if she were trying to be as lugubrious as possible. What dress is that? Is it a uniform?" "Yes. She joined a nursing guild. Didnt Mrs. Douglas tell you?" "I believe so. I forgot. She went into a cottage hospital or something of that kind, did she not?" "She left it because one of the doctors offended her. He was rather dreadful.
It ran thus: "Grizlie bar gultch first janooary. "Dear mister osten, i taik up my pen, the its litil i has to do wid sitch things, to let yoo no that this coms hopin' your al wel as it leeves us barrin bunko who overait hiself last nite at super but hees al rite again, yool be glad to larn that we hav diskivered lots o goold. wan day whin i wos up the straim i thowt id tri me luk in a hole, an faix didnt i turn up a nugit o puer goold as big as my hid. i tuk it down to the hous an' didnt we spind a nite over it! its glad i was we had no likker for i do belaive weed have all got rorin drunk, as it was, sure we danced haf the nite to the myoosik of a kitle drum an owld tin kitle it was, but we didnt mind that, niver a taist, for the nugit kep up our sperits.
It wasnt a highpriced issue, nor were its fluctuations startling. For six months of the year, year in and year out, it would be quoted at 1/16 of a cent a share; for the other six months it stood at 1/8. I didnt know what pemmican was and I didnt particularly care, but if a man could invest at 1/16 he could double his money overnight when it rose to 1/8.
They were untiring, shrilling their questions, exclamations and comments, completely driving from my mind the details of the actual application of the Metamorphizer. Anyway, Miss Francis had been concerned with putting it in the irrigation water which didnt apply in this case. I thought a moment. A gallon was enough for thirty acres; half a pint should suffice for this more than suffice.
