If she will have to pay on them perhaps I had better telegraph her to come with only a dress suit-case." They did not telegraph Kitty. About a week later Kitty arrived, and the next day Billy came, and to each the Fenelbys explained the Fenelby Tariff, on the way up from the station.
I declare I don't know what this world is going to do for servants we pay Bridget more than anyone in this town, I know we do, and treat her like one of the family, almost, and now she is going to leave! It's discouraging! When did she tell you she was going to leave?" "Leave?" exclaimed Mr. Fenelby. "I never thought of such a thing.
"And Laura moves that the Fenelby Domestic Tariff be repealed and annulled. I second it. All in favor of the motion say " "Stop!" exclaimed Billy, rising from his chair. "I object to this! Kitty and I did not come in here to have such an important motion rushed through without consideration. It is not parliamentary. I want to make a speech." "Oh, don't!" pleaded Mrs. Fenelby.
He peered at them until they entered the drug-store, and then he backed cautiously away, step by step, with the tree as a screen. As he reached the corner of the station he turned and ran, and as he turned he saw Billy hurry out of the drug-store and run, and Mrs. Fenelby and Kitty hurry out after Billy. Mr. Fenelby did not wait to see if they also ran.
"Souvenirs are different," said Mr. Fenelby. "Souvenirs are classed as luxuries, and pay thirty per cent. If you consider it a souvenir it pays duty." "I will consider it a suit-case," said Billy promptly. "I will consider it a poor old, worn-out suit-case." "I think that would be better," agreed Mr. Fenelby. "But we will have to wait and see what Laura considers it."
"But we can't have Bridget come in and sit with us whenever we have a session of congress," said Mr. Fenelby. "Certainly not!" said Mrs. Fenelby, very decidedly. "I wouldn't think of such a thing!" "So she can't be a State," said Mr. Fenelby, "and if we made her a Territory it would be as bad. She could come in and talk. She would insist on talking." "And if we did not let her," said Mrs.
"Laura!" exclaimed Kitty, with horror, recoiling from her, while the two men stood sheepishly. "Why, Laura Fenelby! If you say such a thing I shall go right up and pack my clothes and go home!" "What clothes?" asked Mr. Fenelby, meaningly. Kitty ignored the insinuation. "You three should not dare to look me in the face and talk about smuggling," she declared. "You dare to accuse me.
Fenelby said she was perfectly right in hiding the set of Eugene Field in the attic, since it was intended as a surprise for him on the anniversary of their wedding, and the payment of the tariff duty on it would have divulged the secret; and Mrs.
"Now, isn't that one of the oddities of nature?" said Mr. Fenelby. "That fellow looks as if he had no strength at all, and see how he carries off that trunk as if there was not a thing in it. I suppose it is a knack he has. Now, see how hard it is for me merely to lift one end of this smallest one." But before he could touch it Kitty had grasped him by the arm. "Oh, don't try it!" she cried.
His box was well hidden. When they appeared in the distance he saw that they were all together, Billy and the two girls and Bobberts, and Mr. Fenelby arose and waved his hand to them. He was ready to be merry and jovial, and to tease them cheerfully because they had not seen him when he got off the train. But Mrs. Fenelby climbed the porch steps with an air of anger.
