Meanwhile the young gent had canceled his date, and the time has slipped by, and here it was almost Saturday, and nothin' doing in the reply line from them. Marjorie had thought of it while they was havin' lunch in town, and she'd chased Ferdie out to send a wire, without tellin' him what to say. "And you want someone to make up your mind for you, eh?" says I. "All right. That's my long suit.
"I I think it must have been something in the kitchen, Dear," says Mrs. Pulsifer. "Don't mind." "But I do mind," says he. "In the first place, it wasn't in the kitchen at all, and if you'll all excuse me, I'll just see for myself." Meanwhile Edna has turned pale, Marjorie has almost choked herself with a bread stick, and Ferdie has let his fork clatter to the floor.
But she's a good sport, Marjorie is, and if she was hooked up to a live one she'd travel just as lively as the next heavyweight. "Oh, let's!" says she, clappin' her hands. "You know we haven't been away from home overnight for an age. And Edna Pulsifer's such a dear, even if her father is a grouchy old thing. We'll take Torchy along too. What do you say, Ferdie?" Foolish question!
I wish you could have seen their faces! We had said we couldn't possibly go; and we were going too fast to stop and explain!" "We'll explain to-morrow," said the doctor, so significantly that Ferdie rose instantly to grasp his hand, and Elsie fell again upon Sally as if she had never kissed her before. "Not not really!" gasped Elsie, turning radiantly from one to the other.
"Why," says he, "the Pulsifers', you know." "Eh?" says I. "Not the Adam K.'s place, Cedarholm?" Ferdie nods. And, say, it was like catchin' a chicken sandwich dropped out of a clear sky. The Pulsifers! Didn't I know who was there? I did! I'd had a bulletin from a very special and particular party, sayin' how she'd be there for a week, while Aunty was in the Berkshires.
He keeps watching the sails and the water and rollin' the wheel constant. "I suppose we really ought to get some of this canvas off her," says he. "Ferdie, could you help tie in a reef?" "I I don't know, I'm sure," says Ferdie. "I think perhaps " "This wouldn't be a thinking job," says Mr. Robert.
Might withdraw his backin'. Ferdie, speak up pretty for the gennulmun!" "Oh, don't mind me, Mr. Johnson," said Sedgwick cheerfully. "I'm used to hearin' Boland hog the conversation, and trottin' to keep up with him. Glad to be seen on the street with him. Gives one a standing, you know. But, I say, old chappie, why didn't you come last night? Deuced anxious, we were!
I know she hasn't. She didn't want her to know." "Well, then " "Mummy, you don't have to tell Ronny things. She always knows them." "How on earth could she know a thing like that?" "She might. She sort of sees things like Ferdie. She may have seen him with Desmond. You can't tell." "Do they say what the doctor thinks?" "Yes. He thinks it's worry and Heimweh homesickness.
And the grin I carries out is that broad I has to go sideways through the door. I got to say this about Son-in-Law Ferdie: He's a help! Not constant, you know; for there's times when it seems like his whole scheme of usefulness was in providin' something to hang a pair of shell-rimmed glasses on, and givin' Marjorie Ellins the right to change her name.
You see, I'm stupid, and caring caring awfully might make me stupider. Have people got to understand each other?" To that she replied astonishingly, "Are you quite sure you understand about Ferdie?" "Ferdie?" "Yes." She turned her face full to him. "I don't know whether you know about it. I didn't till Mother told me the other day. I'm Ferdie's daughter. "Did you know?" "Oh, Lord, yes.
