I knew THEN you suspected there was a Hiram SOMEWHERE, as good as if I'd told you. Now you jest get up, Hiram, and give the Colonel a good hand-shake. For if it wasn't for HIM and HIS searchin' ways, and HIS awful power of language, I wouldn't hev got that four thousand dollars out o' that flirty fool Hotchkiss enough to buy a farm, so as you and me could get married!
Flirty hung up the receiver with satisfaction. The manes of the departed Dan might soon rest in peace! The next day, early in the forenoon, a young man with a small package carefully done up came to the Dodge house. "From Martin's, the jeweler's, for Miss Dodge," he said to Jennings at the door. Elaine and Aunt Josephine were sitting in the library when Jennings announced him.
"Well, I think the bonnet is nicest, more quiet and matronly." "What's the objection to the hat? Does it make me look old?" "O no; the hat is well enough; but it makes you look rather too you won't mind me saying it, dear?" "Not at all, for I shall wear the bonnet." " Rather too coquettish and flirty for an engaged young woman." She reflected a minute. "Yes; yes.
I haven't got any judgment! I've never been allowed to have any judgment! All I've ever been allowed to have is the judgment of some flirty young medical student or the House Doctor! or the Senior Surgeon! or you!" Her eyes were fairly piteous with terror.
"I hope so; but there may be room for it, even now," she returned, laughing. "Are you going to miss your old friends too much, Cicely?" Theodora asked. "I have a young brother about your age." "Really? I didn't know that. Is he near you?" "Next door." "I'm so glad, for I like boys. I have always been used to them, not flirty; papa wouldn't allow that, but just good friends."
"Now, Flirty," he said, coming out of the closet and pulling up the shade which let a flood of sunlight into the room, "you see, I want you to stand here then, do your little trick. Get me?" "I get you Steve," she laughed. Just then the bell rang. "That must be Jameson," she cried. "Now get to your corner." With a last look Dan went into the closet and shut the door.
Perhaps half an hour later, Clutching Hand himself called me up on the telephone. It was he not the Star as I learned only too late. I had scarcely got out of the house, as Craig told me afterwards, when Flirty Florrie told all over again the embroidered tale that had caught my ear. Kennedy said nothing, but listened intently, perhaps betraying in his face the scepticism he felt.
"Now, Miss Clorindy!" cried Dolf, understanding that this was an occasion when flattery and soft words were absolutely necessary. "You know I'se ales in for de genuine article." "Don't know nothin' ob de sort," said Clo. "I kint flirty and flighty about like some folks; but, anyhow, I ain't fool enough to put all my wages on my back. I guess marster cud tell what I've got in de bank."
Wall, this feller was allers puttin' me up to think that Orrecta was flirty like, and I was jest fool enough to believe him, so I jest packed up my duds and cum out West, with Dr. DeWolf. He'd been teasing me to cum 'long with him fur some time. Ye see, I'd allers been his gardener, ever since he was married. Miss DeWolf that's dead now, she sot heaps by me.
"I never saw her before, Miss Elaine," Jennings shrugged. "But she is very well dressed." "All right, show her in, Jennings. I'll see her." Elaine moved into the drawing room, Jennings springing forward to part the portieres for her and passing through the room quickly where Flirty Florrie sat waiting.
