Pearl must become his in the sight of God and man especially man with the least delay. He delighted Sam Pickering by continuing steadily at the linotype for five consecutive weeks, while business piled up at the First-Class Garage and old Porter Howgill was asked vainly to do everything. Then on a fateful night Lyman Teaford assumed a new and disquieting value in his life.
He continued to do everything that old Porter Howgill was asked to do, to repair cars for the Mansion garage, and to be a shield and buckler to Sam Pickering in time of need. The Advance office became freshly attractive at this time, because Sam had installed a wonderful new power press to print the paper daily; for the Advance, as Sam put it, could be found ever in the van of progress.
Even Dave Cowan, drifting in from out of the nowhere in shoes properly describable as only memories of shoes said she was a snappy little machine, and applauded his son's easy mastery of it.
