The match fell to the floor, whereupon the older man cast an anxious glance at a gray-haired woman who stood beside the kitchen stove. "My name's Magee," blithely explained that gentleman, dragging in his bags. "And you're Elijah Quimby, of course. How are you? Glad to see you."
Cargan, huge, red, cheery, got in Magee's path once more. "I'll annihilate this man," thought Magee. "I've been figuring," said the mayor, "that was one thing he didn't have to contend with. No, sir, there wasn't any bright young men hunting up old Napoleon and knocking him in the monthly magazines.
"In some circles of society, I believe they are flung at bridal parties." "And sealing-wax?" "On the license, isn't it?" he queried. "I'll not try you on cabbage and kings," laughed the girl.
