Beyond the fact that the room itself was of good size Galusha noticed little concerning it, little except the bed, which was large and patchwork-quilted and tremendously inviting. Doctor Powers briskly helped him to undress. The soaked shoes and stockings made the physician shake his head. "Your feet are as cold as ice, I suppose, eh?" he inquired.
Apparently Raish was quite unconscious of the little man's presence, but there would come another tug at the coat-tail and a barely perceptible jerk of the Pulcifer head toward the door. Feeling remarkably like a fool, Galusha would follow to the front steps of the post office.
That would have been very ah funny, wouldn't it? No, I don't think it will make any difference to Cousin ah I mean to the purchasers of your shares. No, no, indeed ah yes. Quite so." If Miss Phipps noticed a slight incoherence in this speech, she did not comment upon it. Galusha blinked behind his spectacles and passed a hand across his forehead. His landlady continued her story.
"The Honourable Galusha Hammer is well named," young Tom wrote, "but the conviction has been gaining ground with me that a hammer is about as much use as a shovel would be at the present time. It is not the proper instrument." If he believes he can lick the Northeastern with a Hammer, he is durned badly mistaken, and I told him so. I have been giving him sage advice in little drops after meals.
I bet you you've given me every other d number on Cape Cod!" Galusha hung up the receiver. Then he sat down in the rocker and gazed at the opposite wall. His secret was safe. But that safety he had bought at the price of another falsehood told to Cousin Gussie this time. He did not seem to be the same Galusha Cabot Bangs at all.
"Not since BREAKFAST? Didn't you have any dinner, for mercy sakes?" "No, madam. Nor luncheon. Oh, it is quite all right, no one's fault but my own. Then, when I found the the hotel closed, I I sat down to rest and and when I heard you call my name " "Wait a minute. What IS your name?" "My name is Bangs, Galusha Bangs.
"Why, yes. Isn't there something gray a ah scarf or something tied about his head? I think I see it flutter in the wind." "That? That ain't no scarf, them's his whiskers. He wears 'em long and they blow consider'ble. Say, what do you think?" Primmie leaned forward and whispered mysteriously. "He sees his wife." Galusha turned to look at her. Her expression was a combination of awe and excitement.
Ain't you heard it?" Galusha would have liked to change the subject, but with Jethro Hallett that was not an easy task, as he knew from experience. He did not immediately make the attempt. "Why ah yes," he admitted. "I have heard that he has bought ah some." "Um-hm. Who told you; Martha?" "Why why really, Captain, I don't know that I ought You'll pardon me, but "
"You see, we ah I beg your pardon, but I don't know that I learned your name when we met the other day. Mine is Bangs." "Pleased to meet you, Mr. Bangs. My name is Howard Nelson Howard. And this is " He paused. The young woman was regarding him in a troubled way. "Nelson," she said, "don't you think, perhaps, we had better not " They were both embarrassed. Galusha noticed the embarrassment.
Galusha was coming down. It seemed to be the advisable thing to do. Miss Cash was doing her "thinking" at the top of her lungs and the process was trying to one with uneasy nerves. He entered the sitting room.
