By the middle of July the Blaisdells were all gone Hillerton and there remained only their letters for Miss Maggie and for Mr. Smith. Miss Maggie was very generous with her letters. Perceiving Mr. Smith's genuine interest, she read him extracts from almost every one that came. And the letters were always interesting and usually characteristic.
"But she she may not be there." "Then get her there. She's GOT to be there. And, listen. I think you'd better plan to go pretty soon after I go to South America. Then you can be there when Mr. Stanley G. Fulton arrives in Chicago and can write the news back here to Hillerton. Oh, they'll get it in the papers, in time, of course; but I think it had better come from you first.
I intend, indeed, to be on the friendliest terms with every Blaisdell in Hillerton before that times comes." "But can you? Will they accept you without references or introduction?" "Oh, I shall have the best of references and introductions. Bob Chalmers is the president of a bank there. Remember Bob? Well, I shall take John Smith in and introduce him to Bob some day.
Frank telephoned him that he would have gone, too, if he had not had so much to do at the store. Mr. Smith seemed pleased at all this attention he seemed, indeed, quite touched; but he seemed also embarrassed in fact, he seemed often embarrassed during those last few days at Hillerton. Miss Maggie Duff did not go to the station to see Mr. Smith off.
Of course you'll have to fix it up for me. I shall leave instructions with you, and when the time comes all you have to do is to carry them out." The lawyer came erect in his chair. "LEAVE instructions! But you, yourself ?" "Oh, I'm going to be there, in Hillerton." "There? Hillerton?" "Yes, where the cousins live, you know. Of course I want to see how it works." "Humph!
As a natural consequence real estate was, for the moment, as flat as a poor joke, and people who had put their money into town "additions" were beginning to think seriously of planting potatoes where they had once dreamed of rearing marketable dwelling-houses. Hillerton, the oldest real-estate man in town, was one of the few among the fraternity who had not branched out into stock brokerage.
Smith, what do you think of my party?" As she asked the question Mrs. Hattie tapped his shoulder with her fan. "I think a great deal of your party," smiled the man. "And you?" He turned to Miss Bessie. "Oh, it'll do for Hillerton." Miss Bessie smiled mischievously into her mother's eyes, shrugged her shoulders, and passed on into the music-room.
I shall, of course, discharge my duty as trustee under this instrument with all possible promptness. Some of the securities have already been converted into cash, and within a few days I shall come to Hillerton to pay over the cash in the form of certified checks; and I shall ask you at that time to be so good as to sign a receipt for your share.
My scheme gets Stanley G. Fulton back to life and Chicago very nicely; but it doesn't get Maggie Duff there worth a cent! Maggie Duff can't marry Mr. John Smith in Hillerton and arrive in Chicago as the wife of Stanley G. Fulton, can she?" "N-no, but he he can come back and get her if he wants her." Miss Maggie blushed. "If he wants her, indeed!" Stanley G. Fulton, you mean?" went on Mr.
Hillerton came across a half sheet of paper covered with such calculations, and was somewhat puzzled by the prominence of the figure 24. An odd price to pay for a mining stock. He was afraid it was the "Adeline Maria," a notorious swindle. Well, Peckham might as well get his lesson at the hands of the faithless Adeline Maria as by any other means.
