It was his intention to seek out Fenholtz and ask a few questions concerning Cousin Percy, but the opportunity did not offer itself, and shortly after the reception the Fenholtzes left for the South, where they were to spend the winter. So that source of information was cut off.
"You bet! Mighty good! Some people I knew and liked in Scarford have bought the Black cottage here in Trumet. I rather guess I am responsible in a way; I preached Cape Cod to 'em pretty steady. The Fenholtzes! Well, well!" "What I realy wrote you for," continued Mr. Ginn, at the top of page four, "was to tell you that I had a feller come to see me Yesterday.
"Some more callers, that's all, Daniel," she said. "Oh, you mustn't go, Mrs. Black. You know them, I'm sure. I've heard you speak of 'em of them often. It's" referring to the cards "the Honorable Oscar Fenholtz and Mrs. Fenholtz. Ask them right in, Hapgood. Daniel, get up!" Daniel hurriedly obeyed orders. Mr. Black also rose. "The Fenholtzes!" he observed in a tone of surprise.
You always liked the Fenholtzes, Daniel. I did, too, or I should if Annette hadn't told me " "I know, I know. Some day that woman will tell the truth by accident and the Ladies of Honor crowd'll be mournin' a leadin' light that went out sudden. But never mind her. The folks here HAVE been nice to us, haven't they?" "Indeed they have! And so thoughtful!
"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.
The invitation to dine with the Fenholtzes came about a week after the dinner at the Blacks'. Daniel, who opened the letter containing the invitation, was very much pleased. He liked the Fenholtzes at first sight and felt sure he should like them better on further acquaintance.
They must think you're pretty familiar with them." "Good land, Serena! I've been familiar with Zuba all my life. If I was to put on airs with her she'd take me down in a hurry." Mrs. Dott sighed. "I'm afraid you did forget yourself," she declared. "I think if you could hear what the Fenholtzes are saying about us now you'd be ashamed. I'm sure I should." And at that very moment Mr.
They seemed so glad to see us when we came, as if they were real friends, not the make-believe sort." "Not the Annette kind, you mean. That particular breed of cats is scarce on the Cape at least I hope it is." "So do I. I never want to see her again. I am so glad they have sold their cottage here, and that the Fenholtzes have bought it if they have bought it, as you say you heard.
The captain was surprised and troubled. "She could come some other time, couldn't she? I think 'twas real kind of the Fenholtzes to ask us. Seems to me we ought to go. You and I haven't even been to pay back that call yet." "I know it. I've meant to, but I've been so busy. Besides, I don't know whether it is worth while or not.
This was not solely on the Dotts' account. She had invited Mr. and Mrs. Fenholtz and the impression was to be made upon them, if possible. But, unfortunately, the Fenholtzes did not attend. Mrs. Fenholtz wrote that she had a prior engagement and sent regrets, just as she had previously done on the occasions of Mrs. Black's other "little" functions.
