When you was at our house t'other day, after Laviny locked me up, you told me the way to get square was to lock her up, too. And I done it! Yes, sir, I done it when she got back from meetin' this noon. I run off and left her locked in. And and" he wailed, wringing his hands "I I ain't dast to go home sence. WHAT'll I do?" The hysterical Mr.
I want to see if you won't marry me. I'm sick of Laviny. Let's you and me settle down together. I could have some peace then. And I think a whole lot of you, too," he added, apparently as an afterthought. Keziah's face was red now, and growing redder every instant. "Kyan Pepper!" she cried in amazed incredulity. "Kyan Pepper, do you " "Hurry up!" pleaded Abishai, in agitated impatience.
For mercy sakes fasten those last three hooks; I'm almost distracted with 'em." But the hooks remained unfastened for the time. Captain Dan threw himself into a chair and waved the letter. "Serena," he cried, puffing like a stranded porpoise, "what WHAT do you suppose has happened? Aunt Laviny is dead." Serena turned. "Dead!" she repeated. "Your Aunt Lavinia Dott? The rich one?"
She apologized for the disarrangement of the hair, but even Miss Timpson her own tresses as smooth as the back of a haircloth sofa declared the effect to be "real becomin'." Heman Daniels, who, being a bachelor, was reported to be very particular in such matters, heartily concurred in this statement. Mr. Hammond said it reminded him some of Laviny Marthy's hair.
Must have passed right by this house and we never heard him. I never see such a dead man as you be when you're asleep. You don't SOUND dead, I'll say that for you, but nothin' wakes you up." "Why, Laviny! you never woke up yourself." "That's right, lay it onto me. I expected you would; it's just like you. But why in time did you think Grace met the minister way down to Peters's grove?
Black 'Barney. He is B. Phelps Black now. Mrs. Black always calls him 'Phelps. So does everybody in Scarford, so she says." "Want to know! He was Barney Black when he lived here regular. Havin' a summer cottage here and a real house in Scarford must make a lot of difference. By the way, speakin' of Scarford, that's where Aunt Laviny used to live afore she went abroad.
"Say yes quick. She'll be back in a minute." "Say YES! Why, you " "Don't stop to argue, Keziah. I've got 'most fifteen hundred dollars in the bank. Laviny keeps the pass book in her bureau, but you could get it from her. I own my house. I'm a man of good character. You're poor, but I don't let that stand in the way. Anyhow, you're a first-rate housekeeper.
Do you mean there's somethin' Mr. Ellery wouldn't want told? Don't you dare I WILL see Laviny!" "No, no, no, no! 'Tain't nothin' much. I just know where he goes after he leaves Elkanah's and who he goes to meet. I Lordy! I hadn't ought to said that! I Keziah Coffin, don't you ever tell I told you. I've said more'n I meant to. If it comes out there'd be the biggest row in the church that ever was.
Solon Tripp's the reg'lar one, but Laviny and he had a row and she said she'd come back and ha'nt me if I ever let him touch her rema Where you goin'? DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!" The minister was going after a match, and said so. In a moment he returned with several. One of these he lit. The brimstone sputtered, burned blue and fragrant, then burst into a yellow flame. The little room was empty.
She was three years younger'n he was when he married her. Let's see again. Father that's your grandpa, Gertie was sixty-five when he died and... Humph! No, Aunt Laviny was eighty-eight, or thereabouts. She wasn't exactly cut off, was she, come to think of it?" Gertrude's brown eyes twinkled. "Not exactly no," she said, gravely.
