"Why not forget Punch and Judy and have the same performance exactly in both places?" demanded Roger, quite excited with his idea. "The Club gives a flower dance, for instance, in the hall; then they go into the yard and give it there in the ten cent enclosure while number two of the program is on the platform inside.
It came from Mammy Judy, Sally's old nurse. It's part of their regular Hoo-doo. She bewitched Miss Sally when she was a baby, so that everybody is bound to HER as long as they care for her, and she isn't bound to THEM in any way. All their luck goes to her as soon as the spell is on them," she added darkly. "I think I know the rest," returned Courtland with still greater solemnity.
I hated him, but held on to his thumb tight for half a minute. He didn't know what the matter really was, but he understood what I needed. He always does. And after that everybody had a good time, the ginger barber and Judy as much as anybody, and I could see Aunt Bettie and Mrs. Johnson peeping in the pantry door, having the time of their lives, too.
Franz had hit it at last, indeed," continued Aunt Judy, "as appeared more plainly still by the letters of introduction which reached him next morning. They were left open, and were to this effect: " . . . The bearer of this is the son of an old friend. One of the most agreeable young men I ever saw. As modest as he is well educated, and I can't say more.
It was too soft a sound to disturb the tired sleepers in the adjoining rooms, but it meant that Judy had an idea, an idea that she could see already realized by the aid of her remarkable imagination.
And Judy, catching the look in the brown, wet eyes above her, ate all he offered, though the first mouthful nearly choked her; she would have eaten it had it been elephant's hide, seeing she loved this boy better than anything else in the world, and he was in such distress. She was the better for it, too, and sat up and talked quite naturally after a little time.
To tell you the truth I wouldn't mind Maizie's being here. She's a strange girl, Judy. There's a lot to her beneath that lazy, indifferent manner of hers. I'll never forget the way she looked when she turned to me and spoke about my being Right Guard." "She looked as though she'd been asleep for a long time and then had suddenly waked up," nodded Judith. "And Elsie Noble!
"Judy is so lonely," he pleaded, and Mrs. Batcheller unbent. "Anne has her lessons." "But to-morrow is Saturday." "Well she may go this time. How long do you want her to stay?" "Until Sunday night," said the Judge. "I will bring her back in time for school on Monday." Anne went up-stairs in a flutter of excitement.
"Of all the ships that sail on land, There's none like 'Jolly Susan'; Her crew works well with heart and hand, And sometimes they're amusin'," sang Josephine in her deep voice. "It's the number of things I've got to remember that's weighing down MY young mind. Judy, do come in here and help me you're so supernaturally tidy, perhaps you can tell me how to separate the sheep from the goats."
"Glory be," whispered Judy with tears streaming down her face, "it's Honora that's hugging Arthur ... no, it's both o' them at wanst, thanks be to God." And the two old ladies stole away home through the happy woods. Anne might have been the bitterest critic of Honora for her descent from the higher to the lesser life, but she loved the girl too well even to look displeasure.
