When he was nineteen that was four years ago he left Greenburg and went to the city. He said he was going to be a policeman or a railroad president or something. And then he was coming back for me. But I never heard from him any more. And I I liked him." Another flow of tears seemed imminent, but Tripp hurled himself into the crevasse and dammed it. Confound him, I could see his game.
George had greased his cowhide boots some years ago, and came to the city to make his fortune. But he forgot to remember to show up again at Greenburg, and Hiram got in as second-best choice. But when it comes to the scratch Ada her name's Ada Lowery saddles a nag and rides eight miles to the railroad station and catches the 6.45 A.M. train for the city.
The young lady must be sent back to Greenburg that day. She must be argued with, convinced, assured, instructed, ticketed, and returned without delay. I hated Hiram and despised George; but duty must be done. Noblesse oblige and only five silver dollars are not strictly romantic compatibles, but sometimes they can be made to jibe. It was mine to be Sir Oracle, and then pay the freight.
Oh yes you'll find George on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street, right next to the grocery. He's bill-clerk in a saddle-and-harness store. That's about how innocent and beautiful she is. You know those little Long Island water-front villages like Greenburg a couple of duck-farms for sport, and clams and about nine summer visitors for industries. That's the kind of a place she comes from.
There she was to recount the exciting adventure of a day spent with Susie Adams. She could "fix" Susie I was sure of that and all would be well. And then, being susceptible to the barbed arrows of beauty, I warmed to the adventure. The three of us hurried to the ferry, and there I found the price of a ticket to Greenburg to be but a dollar and eighty cents.
