If anyone had told me before I met you that I should ever stand for this husband-reading-to-knitting-wife sort of thing I should have bought him a ticket to Matteawan, pronto." He stopped and frowned heavily at me, in mimic disapproval. "Picture all spoiled," he declared, sighing. "You are not knitting. Why, oh, why are you not knitting?"
Now, however cool and fresh it was in the garden that Saturday, it was distinctly hot in the dusty street, and by noon, as Billy sat in the shade beside the palace door, eating the lunch he had brought and drinking out of a thermos bottle, he reflected that for a man to cook himself upon a camp stool, feigning to paint and observing an uneventful door, was the height of Matteawan.
Sometimes I got to pick my own dope out of a dozen or fifteen messages all ticking away in my headpiece at once." "I know the crazy slob what sent 'em, all right, all right," growled McCarthy. "He's nutty for fair." "Well, if he's nutty, I wish you'd hurry his little trip to Matteawan," complained the operator, turning away.
