Captain Jethro strode across the parlor threshold. He glared beneath his heavy eyebrows at the couple. "Lulie," he growled, "don't you know you're keepin' the meetin' waitin'? You are, whether you know it or not. Martha Phipps, come in and set down. Come on, lively now!" Martha smiled. "Cap'n Jeth," she said, "you remind me of father callin' in the cat.
I see her meanderin' over this way a little while ago." "Um-hm. Looked like her." "Was there was there anybody else?" "We-ll, I wouldn't swear to that, Cap'n Jeth. I didn't SEE nobody, but Godfreys mighty! What's that thing?" The thing was the brown derby. Galusha, crouching behind the tomb, had been holding it fast to his head with one hand.
So they and the Eagle folks together undertook to form this new thing, the Development Company, the name meanin' nothin' or a whole lot, 'cordin' to how the development developed, I presume likely. The capital stock I know all this because Cap'n Jethro and father used to talk it over so much between 'em and Cap'n Jeth and I have talked so much since was fifty thousand.
You've hove in that 'especially with me' and I don't like it. Look here, what are you pickin' on me for? How was I to No, now you wait a minute, Cap'n Jeth, and answer me. I've chased you 'way over here and you can give me five minutes even if 'tis Sunday. Come, Cap'n, come, just answer me and then I won't bother you any more." There was silence for a brief interval.
"Well," he admitted, with a laugh, "I guess I'll have to own that I did mean that. There seems to be a good many who have sold to Pulcifer. All the little fellows, the small holders. You haven't, you say?" "I haven't sold a share to him." "Humph! Neither has Cap'n Jeth Hallett; he told me so just now.... Hum!... What is Raish buying for? What's the reason he's buying? Have you heard?"
All hands are talkin' about it now; some of 'em are wonderin' if they hadn't better have hung on. Eben Snow came to me this mornin' and he says, 'I don't know whether I did right to let go of that stock of mine or not, he says. 'What do you think, Jeth? I haven't got much use for Eben, and ain't had for years; I went to sea with him one v'yage and that generally tells a man's story.
