Lathrop, as there ain't a mite o' doubt but what if the honeymoon come just afore the funeral there'd be a deal more sincere mournin' than there is as it is now, an' to my order of thinkin', if the grandchildren come afore the children, folks would raise their families wiser. I told Gran'ma Mullins just that very thing but it did n't seem to give her much comfort.
Lathrop, do you do you know anything about jewelry?" "Jewelry? Nothing! except that I have dabbled in pretty things of that sort as I have dabbled in most things. I once did some designing for a man who set up in Bond Street to imitate Lalique. Why do you ask? I suppose you have heaps of jewels?" "Too many. I want to sell some jewels." "Sell? But " he looked at her in astonishment.
Lathrop, but she says he ain't sighed once not once since they was married, an' as for bein' happy well she says she's about give up hope. She don't want folks to know, 'cause she says she's got some pride, but she says there's no tellin' how soon it'll run out if Gran'ma Mullins keeps on huggin' Hiram, an' tellin' her how perfect he is over his own head." "I don't " said Mrs. Lathrop.
"Two " cried Mrs. Lathrop. "Mrs. Macy says," continued Susan, "as Mrs. Lupey ain't much better pleased than Mrs. Kitts over it all, an', although she did n't say it in so many words, she hinted pretty plain as it seemed hard as the only one of the girls to get married should be the same one as is gettin' divorced. Mrs.
I have waited several years an' there is nothin' against the man except he's eighty-two an' paralyzed. I am seventy-nine. Pa an' Ma oppose the match an' are the oldest couple in the country, an' Elijah has signed it 'Lovin'ly, Rosy' of all the silly things!" "He must be " cried Mrs. Lathrop. "I should think so," said Susan; "why, he was rollin' all over the sofa laughin' over that.
His answers don't seem to tell you nothin', to my order of thinkin', an' that one about the pickles struck me just like a slap in my face." "I'd never " said Mrs. Lathrop. "Nor me neither. If I want to know I come to you." "And I " said Mrs. Lathrop warmly. "I know you would," said her friend, "whatever faults you've got, Mrs. Lathrop, I'd always feel that about you." Mrs.
Lathrop, I'm goin' to right out plain 'n' tell you to your face 's it's a good thing f'r you 's he is gone, 'n' you want to thank Heaven 's sent him to you 't that train was so handy to take him away ag'in." "But what " asked Mrs. Lathrop feebly. "It was the cow," said Susan. "Don't you remember how I run last night?
Everybody 's see Johnny's face thought 's two trains had smashed on his a'count somewhere, 'n' I recolleck Mr. Kimball's sayin' 's he couldn't 'a' looked more miserable 'f he'd been the man 's had run away with her. It was too bad you wasn't there, Mrs. Lathrop, Mrs.
Lupey says she's always had so much faith in old Dr. Carter an' she had faith in him then, an' was so sweet an' trustin' when he come with the machine, an' after he was done she fully believed his word of honor as to everythin', an' that was why they went an' bought her that bell an' oh heavens alive, Mrs. Lathrop, I only wish you could hear Mrs. Macy on Mrs. Kitts' bell!
But it set up a fire in my own house and blazed and smoked until I had to do something about it. See here, Carlotta. I'd like to ask you a question or two. You are not really going to marry Herbert Lathrop, are you?" A queer little shadow, almost like a veil, passed over Carlotta's face at this counter charge. "Why not?" she parried. "You know why not.
