"Couldn't you come in for a while, Annie? I'm very lonesome. What were you talking about?" "I just told that man out there I'm going to take you back home." Mary Gage sat silent for a time. "We'll have to get a better solution than that." "It's a fine little solution you've got so far, ain't it now?" commented Annie. "Highbrows always have to lean on the lowbrows, more or less. You listen to me."
"Quite a place," he said, in a tone and with a pride that had no relation to the other's demands. "Makes you feel man ain't the bum sort of inseck in the scheme of things some highbrows ain't happy not tellin' you. There's folks who guess it's Nature the proposition that matters. It's her does it all, an' keeps on doin' it all the time.
Of course, I advocated it very warmly. "Well," he said, "we will have a dinner at Delmonico's. It will be composed entirely of 'highbrows. We wish you to make the principal speech, introducing young Roosevelt, who, of course, will respond. I will not be at the dinner, but I will be in the pantry." The dinner was a phenomenal success.
My idea if I can get hold of the slipper again oh! you needn't stare; I'm out for it! is to get the Antiquarian Institution to ransom it. It's a line of commercial speculation I have worked successfully before. There's a dozen rich highbrows, cranks to a man, connected with it, and they are my likeliest buyers sure. But to keep the tone of the market healthy there's Hassan of Aleppo, rot him!
Greenhalge and a few young highbrows and a reformed crook named Harrod did most of the hair-raising. They're going to nominate Greenhalge for mayor; and he told 'em something about that little matter of the school board, and said he would talk more later on.
And in the intervals between periods of cold asceticism when I deal with the highbrows, and other periods when I tackle subjects of national importance first hand, I feel that I shall want relaxation. . . ." "And so you think you'd like me to fill the role of comic relief," she said sweetly. "Thanks a thousand times for the charming compliment."
He laid his hand on the book beside him. "Are you reading all the highbrows?" she asked. "Most of 'em," he answered. "In the first place they're all so amazingly well written that it's a pleasure to read them for that alone; and, secondly I'm hoping . . . still hoping. . . ." He took out his cigarette case and offered it to her.
Even Ditmar was not of these. "I've just been showing a lot of highbrows through the mill," he told Janet. "They asked questions enough to swamp a professor of economics." And Janet was suddenly impelled to ask: "Will you take me through sometime, Mr. Caldwell?" "You've never been through?" he exclaimed. "Why, we'll go now, if you can spare the time." Her face had become scarlet. "Don't tell Mr.

An' it don't matter if it's her own folk, or her beau, or her man, or some pestilential kid she's rescued from drownin' in a churn of cream she's jest fixed ready fer butter makin'. Wot Jeff don't owe you fer haulin' him right back into the midst of life, why I guess you couldn't find with one of them things crazy highbrows wastes otherwise valuable lives in lookin' at bugs with."
