Not one of my regular evenin's, you understand, nor any special date: I was just takin' a chance. And when the maid tells me Miss Vee and Auntie have gone out for an after-dinner stroll on the Drive, I chucks my new felt-rim straw on the hall table and remarks careless that, as Auntie ain't likely to do any Marathon before bedtime, I guess I'll wait.

"Stranger," he said, "we rise early an' go to bed early in these parts. Thar ain't nothin' to keep us up in the evenin's, an' as you've had a hard, long ride I guess you're just achin' fur sleep."

'Twas a good girl, you understand, that wished for to marry an' reform 'en. She had money, too. I? I'd ha' poured out my blood for 'en: that's all I cud do. So he went. "As the place shines this day, it shone then. Like a moth it drew 'en. Late o' summer evenin's its windeys shone when down below here 'twas chill i' the hill's shadow.
"Well, I said no more to him, not one word good or bad, the rest of that evenin's row, and I never went out with him no more. But now, Father, this is what I want to say for my breath is a goin' from me every minute my Daddy, he was like my child to me, me that have never had a child of my own.

He's comin' again." 'She pointed to the veranda, an' by the Hoight av Impart'nince, the Corp'ril man was comin' out av Bragin's quarters. "He's done that these five evenin's past," sez Annie Bragin. "Oh, fwhat will I do!" "He'll not do ut again," sez I, for I was fightin' mad. 'Kape away from a man that has been a thrifle crossed in love till the fever's died down. He rages like a brute beast.
"All these days that you've been so friendly an' like a pardner all these evenin's that have been so bewilderin' to me your beauty an' an' the way you looked an' came close to me they were woman's tricks to bind my hands?" "Yes." "An' your sweetness that seemed so natural, an' your throwin' little Fay an' me so much together to make me love the child all that was for the same reason?" "Yes."
I'll give you lessons evenin's." "We'll begin now!" cried the little tyro enthusiastically. The Boarder approved this promptness, and that night gave the first lesson from Flamingus's schoolbooks. The next morning Amarilly proudly informed the ticket-seller that her education had begun.
