"Hear folks is trespassin' on your land, Norton. Name of Crane and Keith. Haulin' logs acrost. No contract with you? No contract with Plumm?" "No contract." "Hain't got a right to do it, have they?" "No." "If I owned that land I'd give 'em notice," said Scattergood. "G'-by, Norton. Goin'to Boston to-day. Set tight, Norton. G'-by."
"No." "Why did Abner say to Asa yesterday, 'It's not on account of her, it's on account of her'?" "I don't know." "G'-by, Mary. G'-by." It was so Scattergood always ended a conversation, abruptly, but as one became accustomed to it it was neither abrupt nor discourteous. "Thank you," said Mary, and she went away obediently.
You needn't to worry about my talkin' too free." "Seems like a feller that talks as much as you do would have to mention a fact once in a while. G'-by, Pliny." It was two or three days later that Postmaster Pratt alluded again to Martha and Jed Lewis. "They're gittin' wuss and wuss," he said, with some gratification. "Last night they was a rumpus you could 'a' heard forty mile.
"There's a bad thing about borrowin' trouble," said Scattergood. "No matter how hard you try, you can't ever pay it back. Wait till he croaks, and then do your worryin'." "I've got a feelin' he's goin' to come," she said, and turned away wearily. "I thought maybe you'd know. That's why I came in, Mr. Baines." "G'-by, Mattie. G'-by.
"My only preference is to have them all a long way off," said the young minister. "Some day you'll have opposite leanin's. There'll be a girl you'll want to snuggle right clost to.... G'-by, Parson, I'll keep my eyes open for you."
"Seems like a shame folks here can't run the man they want for office. Strike you that way?" "Certain sure. Calc'late they want Marvin bad?" "They could," said Scattergood. "G'-by, Pliny." Ten days later a third party made its appearance in the politics of Coldriver, and Marvin Towne was announced as its candidate for the legislature.
And and I don't want you to get too fond of me, because we're different.... But we have had an adventure, even if it was a little moist." She paused; then, cheerily: "Well, I'm going to beat it back and try to sleep again. Good-by, Mouse dear. No, don't come back to the Cara-advanced-serai. Play around and see the animiles. G'-by."
Hain't sayin' no more. Jest wait, and don't worry, and don't say nothin' to nobody.... G'-by, Grandmother Penny. G'-by." That evening Scattergood drove out of Coldriver in his rickety buggy. Nobody had dared to speak to him, but, nevertheless, he carried in his pocket a list of the town's investors in mining stock, together with the amounts of their investments.
"My duty," said Kent. "Calc'late to do your duty?" "Always done so." "Comin' to see you do it," said Scattergood. He paused. "Next mornin' we'll fix up the note. G'-by, Kent."
"Folks always pays what they have to no more no less. Immediate possession. Always a good thing. Got any money?" "No." "Call at the bank. They'll give you what's needed. Ought to be back with the deed by night. Fast hoss?" "Fast enough." "G'-by, Norton." That night Norton returned with the deed and with Old Man Plumm, who took the morning stage for Connecticut and his youngest daughter.
