But, once the provisioning begins, the cup is finished for good and all; and, come what may, the insect will not touch it again. The harvester will go on harvesting, though the pollen trickle to the ground through the drain. To plug the hole would imply a change of occupation of which the insect is incapable for the moment. It is the honey's turn and not the mortar's.
"Never hurt anybody eaten that way," explained John Ellison, "and this is the real thing. The milk is from the Jersey cows in the barn, and the honey's from the garret, where there's five swarms of bees been working all summer." They need no urging, however. "Poor Joe! He'll die of grief when I tell him about this," remarked George Warren, smacking his lips over a mouthful.
"And don't forget this," answered Honey. "I heard one." Billy made no allusion to any of this with the other three men. But for the rest of the day, he had a return of his gentle good humor. Honey's spirits fairly sizzled. That night Frank Merrill suddenly started out of sleep with a yelled, "What was that?" "What was what?" everybody demanded, waking immediately to the panic in his voice.
Mrs Greenways put a small basket into her hand before she started, into which she had packed a chicken, a pot of honey, and a pat of fresh butter. "There," she said, "that's a little something from Orchards Farm, tell him. The chick's our own rearing, and the honey's from Peter's bees, and the butter's fresh this morning."
For Billy contributed money, birth, breeding, and position to augment Honey's initiative, enterprise, audacity, and charm. Billy Fairfax offered other contrasts quite as striking. On his physical side, he was shapelessly strong and hopelessly ugly, a big, shock-headed blond.
"But it's the inspiration of building it for you women," Pete said gravely, "that makes us men work like slaves. We're only doing it for your sake. It is the expression of our love and admiration for you." "Oh, slush!" exclaimed Clara flippantly, borrowing from Honey's vocabulary. "You're building it to please yourself. Besides, I don't want to be an inspiration for anything."
Ida May is Sarah Honey's only child, and Sarah was only distantly related to me. There never was another girl in the family not like that one that came here the other day, for sure!" And the old woman shook her head emphatically. "That girl you got down there at the port, Elder, is crazy crazy as a loon," put in Cap'n Ira harshly. "I am not so sure of that," the clergyman said shortly. "I swan!
That family had lacked refinement and breeding and graciousness of manner to a degree that would have amazed and shocked Sarah Honey's relatives down on the Cape. Not that the girl thought of Tunis Latham's refinement with any wistfulness.
Nothing could better have indicated Honey's mental turmoil than the fact that he talked in broken phrases rather than in his usual clear, swift-footed curt sentences. Nobody noticed this. Nobody offered comment. Nobody seemed surprised. In fact, all the psychological areas which explode in surprise and wonder were temporarily deadened.
