After dinner that night or rather, after supper, for we had dinner in the middle of the day at Jacobus's I walked down the long verandah to ask Brede, who was placidly smoking at the other end, to accompany me on a twilight stroll. Half way down I met Major Halkit.
Tabb and Miss Hoogencamp, the two middle-aged gossips from Scranton, Pa. out of Mr. and Mrs. Biggle, an indurated head-bookkeeper and his prim and censorious wife out of old Major Halkit, a retired business man, who, having once sold a few shares on commission, wrote for circulars of every stock company that was started, and tried to induce every one to invest who would listen to him?
And then we wandered out to take our morning glance at what we called "our view"; and it seemed to us as if Tabb and Hoogencamp and Halkit and the Biggleses could not drive us away in a year. I was not surprised when, after breakfast, my wife invited the Bredes to walk with us to "our view."
