How they discovered B.-P.'s quality as a humourist happened in this way.
Ebullient in his spirits, he radiated cheeriness wherever he went and was at the bottom of most of the practical jokes that kept the village of Maplehill in a state of ferment; yet if any man thought to turn a sharp corner in business with Mr. Harper Freeman, Jr., he invariably found that frisky individual waiting for him round the corner with a cheery smile of welcome, shrewd and disconcerting.
The blood in her face, the look in her eye quickened also. And now a figure appeared in the doorway a figure in shirt-sleeves, which shook a fist at the hurrying girl.
