And he's helped me all he knows. And he showed me around some dandy places before I got wise." He laughed boisterously, and his laugh drove straight to the heart of the man who heard it.
Teacheh allers seemed diff'rent; ev'ry once in a while, one of us would see him walkin' on the edge of a cliff, or fin' him dizzily hangin' on to somethin' for fear o' fallin'." "How long did that go on?" queried Hamilton. "'Bout a month, I reckon. An' Teacheh was in trouble more'n more all the time, because folks wouldn' have him boardin' 'roun', same's he'd allers done." "Why not?"
"No, they won't come. We've tried it over an' over again; you know we have. Hannah Jane herself said that if anythin' 'serious' came up it would be diff'rent. Well, I'm goin' ter have somethin' 'serious' come up!" "But, Harriet " "Now, Thaddeus," begged the woman, almost crying, "you must help me, dear. I've thought it all out, an' it's easy as can be.

When souls which should agree to will the same To have one common object for their wishes, Look diff'rent ways, regardless of each other, Think what a train of wretchedness ensues!

In fact, he tells seven diff'rent yarns in as many minutes, each one makin' me out worse than the last. "There!" says his mother. "Now, Zenobia, will you send for an officer?" Nope, Zenobia wouldn't; anyway, not until she had more facts to go on.
"Uh-huh!" says I. "We take back the pooh-poohs, eh?" The next number was diff'rent, but just as good. At the finish of the fourth a wide old dame in the middle row unpins a cluster of orchids from her belt and aims 'em enthusiastic at the stage. Course they swats a dignified old boy three seats beyond me back of the ear; but that starts the floral offerings. I gets a quick nudge from Vee.
Now if they were only men, I could " "Oh, sure!" says I. "But a bunch of nutty fluffs is diff'rent. They never know what they want or why they want it. Say, ain't you got another exit?" Mr. Pepper shakes his head. "No, son," says he; "but don't you worry about me. Your strategy thus far has been excellent; but I don't want you to get mixed up in this mess.
"Yes and I wish I did. Maybe I could help if I am only a boy." "Well, we'll have to go slowly, William; it won't do to intrude on a man's private affairs."

Why didn't yer put me wise at first? I know th' name of Kiddie. Ought to. I've heard it often 'nough. Real proud ter see you, sir," he added, taking Kiddie's outstretched hand.
