Fenholtz said that she and her husband must be going, also. "But we shall hope to see a great deal of you and Mr. I should say Captain Dott," she said. "You must dine with us very soon. I will set an evening and you mustn't say no." "That is right," said Mr. Fenholtz heartily. "Captain, some of these days you and I will take a gouple of days and go down and look at that boat.
Ex-Mayor Fenholtz expressed a rather general opinion when he said: "The Ladies of Honor? Sure! it is a place where the women go who think their husbands don't appreciate them. If I was one of those husbands I should appreciate their having that place. They might stay at home if they didn't. That would be a galamity."
Meanwhile the three ladies were engrossed in other matters. Mrs. Fenholtz asked to be shown the house; she had not seen it for a long time, she said, and was much interested. Annette suddenly remembered that, she also was "mad" to see it. So Serena led a tour of inspection, in which Mr. Hapgood officiated as assistant pilot and superintendent of lighting.
Fenholtz and I had tried every variety of servant, but she is something fresh." Daniel grinned. "She's fresh enough, if that's all you want," he admitted. "That's the main trouble with her, accordin' to my wife. I like her myself. She reminds me of home." The Honorable shook his hand. "Home is a good thing to remember," he said earnestly, "and a bedder thing not to be ashamed of.
Fenholtz at the table, and her quiet conversation on every-day subjects he could understand. Before the dinner was over he was thoroughly at ease, and when later on, in company with the Honorable Oscar and the male guests, he sat smoking in the library, he found himself spinning yarns and joking as freely as if he had been in the back room of the Metropolitan Store in Trumet.
"I suppose you scarcely expected callers or calls from strangers so soon," went on Mrs. Fenholtz. "But, you see, I hope we shan't be strangers after this. I couldn't bear to think of you all alone here in this great house in a strange place, and so I told Oscar that he and I must run in. We live near here, only on the next corner." "I said you would be having your after-dinner smoke, Mr.
"If the Fenholtzes take them up I don't see what you've got to kick about. You've been trying to get in the Fenholtz set yourself for the last three years. Maybe you can do it now." Black in the exuberance of her Trumet conversation had led Serena to think. In reality, its membership was less than a hundred.
After the tour was at an end, and just before the party descended to the drawing-room, Mrs. Fenholtz turned to Serena and said: "Mrs. Dott, are you interested in club matters; in women's clubs, I mean?" Serena's answer was a prompt one. "Indeed I am," she said. "I have always been interested in them. Mrs. Fenholtz looked puzzled. The order Mrs. Black belongs to."
"I did my best to keep the Guild out of the conversation," she said, "but that Fenholtz woman had to drag it in, and now, of course, I've got to take that Dott person to the next meeting and introduce her to everybody, and I suppose I shall have to see that she is made a member. Oh, dear! I almost wish I had never seen Trumet." B. Phelps grunted. "Humph!" he said.
The shouts of laughter from the library could be heard in the parlor, and Serena grew nervous. "Your husband must be very entertaining," said Mrs. Fenholtz. "I haven't heard Mr. Fenholtz laugh so heartily in a long time." Mrs. Dott was fearful that Daniel might be making himself ridiculous. She didn't mention her fears.
