"Well, what are you going to do about it?" inquired the Destinies with their traditional indifference. "We can't wait all night!" She lifted her head and cast an almost frightened look at the De Guenthers, waiting courteously for her decision. In reply to the look, Mr. De Guenther began giving her details about the money, and the leisure time, and the business terms of the contract generally.
De Guenther than her superiors ever knew; and once she had found his black-rimmed eye-glasses where he had left them between the pages of the Pri-Zuz volume of the encyclopedia, and mailed them to him. When she had vanished temporarily from sight into the nunnery-promotion of the cataloguing room the De Guenthers had still remembered her.
Secretly it was a pleasure to him to find that he was alive enough to care what happened, enough for anger. He demanded presently where he was going. "Not more than two hours' ride, sir, I heard Mr. De Guenther mention," answered Wallis at once. "A little place called Wallraven quite country, sir, I believe." "So the De Guenthers are in it, too!" said Allan.
But I always cry so before I'm through I cry and cry my poor, helpless boy he was so strong and bright! And you are sure you are conscientious " At this point Phyllis stopped the flow of Mrs. Harrington's conversation firmly, if sweetly. "Yes, indeed," she said cheerfully. "But you know, if I'm not, Mr. De Guenther can stop all my allowance.
De Guenther stopped with a grave little bow, and he and his wife waited for the reply. The Liberry Teacher sat silent, her eyes on her slim hands, that were roughened and reddened by constant hurried washings to get off the dirt of the library books. It was true a good deal of it, anyhow.
The last weighed on her mind more than all the rest put together. "Why, I don't know how to make Current Expenses out of all that!" she had said to Mr. De Guenther. "It looks to me exactly like about ten months' salary! I'm perfectly certain I shall get up in my sleep and try to pay my board ahead with it, so I shan't have it all spent before the ten months are up!
"That's the first time I've heard a Latin quotation since I came away from home," she found herself saying quite simply in explanation, "and Father quoted Horace so much every day that that I felt as if an old friend had walked in!" But her hosts didn't seem to mind. Mr. De Guenther in his careful evening clothes looked swiftly across at Mrs.
Miller's advertising had become so extensive that he had been forced to retain a professional agent, one Rudolph Guenther, to supervise it, and when the newspapers began to make unpleasant comments, Guenther took Miller to Ammon's office in the Bennett Building in Nassau Street.
But it's a long way down to the basement where city libraries are apt to keep their children, and the De Guenthers hadn't been down there since the last time they asked her to dinner. And here, with every sign of having come to say something very special, stood Mr. De Guenther! Phyllis' irrepressibly cheerful disposition gave a little jump toward the light.
Most of the short evening was spent celebrating the fact that Allan had thrown something at Wallis, who was recalled to tell the story three times in detail. Then there was the house to discuss, its good and bad points, its nearnesses and farnesses. "Let me tell you, Allan," said Mrs. De Guenther warmly at this point, from her seat at the foot of the couch, "this wife of yours is a wonder.
