Mr. Procter took the letter, looked curiously at it before tearing it open. He glanced through its contents, held it a second while he looked away then he went through it again. It ran: Dear Procter: You've known for some time that Job Doane is running the hardware shop in my interest.
For several days toward the end of June we did not even have time to go up to the spring for our usual supply of water. But we kept Jim Doane there under instructions to attend carefully to the putting up of the water. It was his sole business, and he seemed to be attending to it properly.
Pleasure was mine. Goodnight, Gertrude. Oh, by the way, I believe you and I are to go over that paper of your mother's tomorrow. She asked my advice and said you would assist, I think. I shall look forward to that assistance. Good-night, Doane. Glad to have met you, I'm sure." He strolled out. Upon reaching his room he discovered that his cigar case was empty.
All of which was Greek to Simon Nishikanta, who would promptly take the Ancient Mariner's side of the discussion. But the Ancient Mariner was fair-minded. What advantage he gave the Jew one moment, he balanced the next moment with an advantage to the skipper. "It's a pity," he would suggest to Captain Doane, "that you have only one chronometer. The entire fault may be with the chronometer.
He suspiciously watched the men at the Athletic Club that noon. It seemed to him that they were uneasy. They had been talking about him then? He was angry. He became belligerent. He not only defended Seneca Doane but even made fun of the Y. M. C. A, Vergil Gunch was rather brief in his answers. Afterward Babbitt was not angry. He was afraid.
"It is five miles farther, but it is our only chance of getting home this week," Addison said. We were busy bundling Halstead up for the sled trip when the door opened and in stepped Asa Doane, one of our hired men at the farm, and a neighbor named Davis. "Well, well, here you are, then!" Asa exclaimed in a tone of great relief.
And as fer the house, land knows it's big enough, and I feel like a lone pea in a tin can shakin' around loose in it, and I won't never need to see no one unless I want to. But I want to see 'em, I want to see life around me, and life that's bein' made a little happier because of Drusilla Doane.
You wasn't gettin' square with anybody, an' you wasn't doin' that girl right by takin' the word of Gomez." "I saw the two of them, her an' Doane, in Hope this morning, walkin' down the street, arm in arm, laughing probably over me," Rathburn replied bitterly. "I've got eyes, and I can put two an' two together. I'm only The Coyote with her, and I'll be The Coyote.
"Now what do you know about that!" She looked at James as if he should have an answer, and he said: "I'm sure, Miss Doane, I don't know anything about it at all." Drusilla looked down at the baby in the basket, and again at the letter, not knowing what to do; but, the little wail again rising, she reached down to take the baby into her arms, and found it securely pinned into the basket.
Tell him you ain't goin'." The young lady was plainly much disturbed. She looked at Mr. Doane and it was evident that she wanted to say something very much indeed. What she did say, however, was a surprise to everyone. "I I ought to go, John," she faltered. "It is a very important meeting. I can't tell you now how important it is."
