Tibbs, but I've got too much to do, while you loaf and gas and drink over Lum Landis's bar I've got other business than keeping out of Hartley Bowlder's way. I'm looking for John Harkless. He was the best man we had in this ornery hole, and he was too good for us, and so we've maybe let him get killed, and maybe I'm to blame. But I'm going to find him, and if he's hurt damn me!
She came in to lunch with Alice one day, when he happened to be home early. "I went to dinner at Mrs. Frank Landis's last night," she said. "And who do you think was there your friend, Mrs. Winnie Duval." "Indeed," said Montague. "I had quite a long talk with her," said she. "I liked her very much." "She is easy to like," he replied. "What did you talk about?"
Mebbe now, if she'd married Martin Landis's pop she'd be by now just as nice as Mrs. Landis. It wonders me now if she would!" Mrs. Reist's desire for a happy childhood for her children was easily realized, especially in the case of Amanda. She had the happy faculty of finding joy in little things, things commonly called insignificant.
"To Heaven's door, and through, my lad, O I will walk with you." After the ceremony the strains of a Wedding March fell upon the ears of the people gathered in the orchard. Amanda's lips parted in pleasure. "That's Phil's work!" she cried and ran behind the clump of bushes from where the music seemed to come. Philip was stooping to grind the motor of Landis's Victrola. "Phil, you dear!"
"It's good Landis's don't live far from our place," she thought. "My parasol's wiltin'." Like the majority of houses in the Crow Hill section of country, the Landis house was set in a frame of green trees and old-fashioned flower gardens. It flaunted in the face of the passer-by an old-time front yard.
But the undertaking to sell his wild land always at the one fixed price, not only gave later comers an advantage which attracted them with a constantly increasing force, but it gave the poorer settlers an occupation from which many of them gained handsomely the improvement of places to sell to new-comers with capital. The result showed Mr. Landis's wisdom.
What business had a girl like Isabel Souders to enter a family like the Landis's?
Philip, always ready for amusement, was at times almost insufferable in the opinion of his sister. "What's the matter with Mart Landis's home?" the boy asked innocently one day at the supper table. "Why?" asked Uncle Amos. "I'll bite." "Well, he seems to be out of it a great deal; he spends half of his time in our house.
Not my not the Martin Landis's pop that lives near us?" "Yes, that one." "Why" Amanda was wide-eyed and curious "what were you doin' with your hand on his shoulder so and your picture taken with him?" Aunt Rebecca laughed. "Ach, I had dare to do that for we was promised then, engaged they say now." "You were goin' to marry Martin Landis's pop once?" The girl could not quite believe it. "Yes.
I remember how old he is because it was on my mom's last birthday in March that Millie said you had another baby and I remember, too, that Aunt Rebecca was there and she said, 'What, them Landis's got another baby! Poor thing! I asked Mom why she said that and she thought Aunt Rebecca meant that babies make so much work for you." "Ach, abody works anyhow, might as well work tendin' babies.
