"I don't want to be poisoned. Good night, Mr. Tubbs." "But, my dear Mrs. Garlett " "I said good night," interrupted the lady of the house. "Mary will show you to the door," she added, and then, in complete bewilderment, poor William Philander rushed out of the residence, and along the garden walk in the direction of the road leading to Brill.
And it is wax, too," she continued, inspecting the lump more closely. "Wax!" gasped poor William Philander, hollowly. "Yes, wax, Mr. Tubbs." "Oh, you must be mistaken, my dear Mrs. Garlett!" "Humph! I think I know wax when I see it. And this is rubber nothing but rubber!" "Oh, Aunt Clarabel!" murmured the young lady. "Let me look at that box!" cried the lady of the house.
"It's the candy, Aunt Mabel!" cried the young lady. "It it tastes so queer!" "Ha! Let me see that box?" exclaimed the aunt, who was a portly person. "I read in the newspaper only yesterday of some folks being poisoned by eating cheap candy." And she looked severely at poor Tubbs. "This is er not cheap candy, my dear Mrs. Garlett," spluttered William Philander.
And she gazed scornfully at poor Tubbs. "No, no, I er I didn't I really " gasped William Philander. "You can have your box of candy back, Mr. Tubbs," went on the girl, sarcastically. "I do not wish it. And allow me to bid you good evening!" And with a stately bow she passed out of the room. "I'll keep this box of so-called candy and have it investigated," said Mrs. Garlett.
She commenced to make an inspection, holding the box close to a lamp. "Humph! Rubber bands, beans, slate pencils, and polishing wax!" she declared. "Mr. Tubbs, do you call this a box of candy?" "Upon my word, Mrs. Garlett, I " gasped the dudish student. He did not know how to finish. "It's just some old horrid joke!" declared Miss Ruggles, haughtily. "One of your college jokes, I presume!"
