I wiggles around to get a better view, and lets half a dozen loops of yarn slip off at a time. "Stupid!" says Vee, runnin' her tongue out at me. "Didn't I tell you you'd do better by drapin' it over a chair back?" says I. "But say, time out while I snoop into something. Who's the girl with the press notice stuff?" and I points an elbow at the halftone. "That?" says she.
And she said, "Difference in age don't count anything when there is true love." Sez she, "Look at Aaron Burr and Lord Baconsfield," and she brung up a number more for me to look at mentally, whilst I wuz drapin' my mantilly round my frame in graceful folds.
"Well," sez I, "push the brim back and I'll tie it down with my braize veil." "I won't wear a veil!" sez he stoutly. "No, Samantha, no money will make me rig up like a female woman right here in a fashionable summer resort, before everybody. How would a man look with a veil droopin' down and drapin' his face?" "Well," sez I, "then go your own way."
But the next time a gale come from the sou'west he wuz glad to submit to my drapin' him; so I laid the brim back and tied the veil in a big bow knot under his chin. Then agin he reviled the bow, and said it would make talk. But I held firm and told him I wuzn't goin' to tear my veil tiein' it in a hard knot.
"I'll get you yet, you little vix," he said; "you pretty little black-eyed vix, you; I'll get you yet. "Like hell you will." "If you change your mind, come out on the eight-eighteen, girlie. Two blocks to the left of the station; the corner house with a little weather-cock over the porch. Can't miss it. I'll be drapin' the tree in tin fringe and wishing you were there."
An' have ye niver drifted along, the water clear as glass, whin suddin, belike a cloud over the sun, the mushy-ice comes bubblin' up an' up till from bank to bank an' bind to bind it's drapin' the river like a first snowfall? 'Unh, hunh! more'n once when I took a doze at the steering-oar.
I loads Buddy ostentatious into the little roadster and starts off, with him wantin' to sit all over me as usual, or else drapin' himself on the door half-way out of the car. Maybe I stopped at Joe Sarello's, maybe I only called at the butcher's and collected a big, juicy shin-bone. Anyway, it was' after dark when I got back and when I came in to dinner I was alone.
"Well, give the young lady my best regards and er I wish you luck. Thanks for dropping in to tell me." "Not at all," says Waddy, drapin' himself easy on a chair. "But that's just the beginning." "Sorry, Waddy," says Mr. Robert, "but I fear I am too busy just now to " "Bah!" snorts Waddy. "You can attend to business any time tomorrow, next week, next month.
Sez Arvilly to 'em, and they wuz drew up in battle array as you may say, dressed up in uniform and quite a few on 'em, the Stars and Stripes behind 'em, and the mantilly of the law drapin' 'em in heavy folds. And I don't spoze that through her hull life Arvilly wuz ever so eloquent as on that occasion.
