Keap pressed the hand of her deliverer, who trudged his lonely way toward the gymnasium, where Glass was saying: "'The volley was fired at sunrise. That means Saturday, Bo." "Larry, you're the best crepe-hanger of your weight in the world." Larry bent a look of open disgust upon his employer. "And you're a good runner, you are," said he. "Why, I beat you this morning."
"I have tried to think of something to tell him, but I'm too frightened." "Yes, but but I want him here for this foot-race." Wally swallowed bravely. "Foot-race!" stormed the widow, indignantly. "Would you allow an insignificant thing like a foot-race to wreck a human life? Two human lives? Three?" "Can't you wire him?" Mrs. Keap stamped her foot.
Of course, I can't forgive deceit I dare say I am more particular than most people." "But you won't tell?" Mrs. Keap indicated in some subtle manner that she was not above making terms, whereupon her companion declared, warmly: "I'm yours for life! Ask me for my watch, my right eye, anything! I'll give it to you!"
"We may be gone before you return." Young Chapin started. "You don't mean that, really?" Mrs. Keap nodded her dark head. "It was all very well for me to chaperon Helen on the way out from the East, but it isn't exactly regular for me to play that part here with other young people to look after." "But you understand, of course Jean must have explained to you.
"Then you must wire him " "I have " " not to come." "What!" J. Wallingford Speed started as if a wasp had stung him. "You must wire him at once not to come. I don't care what excuse you give, but stop him. Stop him!" Speed reached for a pillar; he felt that the porch was spinning slowly beneath his feet. "Oh, see here, now! I can't do that!" "You promised!" cried Mrs. Keap, fiercely.
I know what I'm doing." "You will cause these cowboys to lose a lot more money." "Not at all. When Culver arrives " "Oh, that is what I want to talk over with you," Mrs. Keap broke in, nervously. "Then it isn't about the foot-race? You are not angry?" Speed brightened amazingly. "I'm not exactly angry; I'm surprised and grieved.
"And you can't accept because you have a previous engagement. I see! Jove! It's quite dramatic. But I don't see why you are so excited? If the other chap isn't coming " "But he is! That is what makes it so dreadful! If those two men should meet" Mrs. Keap buried her face in her hands and shuddered "there would be a tragedy, they are both so frightfully jealous."
Speed mopped his brow with a red-and-blue silk handkerchief. "I'll do my best." "Then I shall do my part." And Mrs. Keap, who could not bear deception, turned and went indoors while J. Wallingford Speed, a prey to sundry misgivings, stumbled down the steps, his head in a whirl. Berkeley Fresno was devoting himself to Miss Blake. "What do you think of our decorations?" she inquired.
