That's what I have come here for, not for no bowin's and scrapin's. Where has my boarder went?" A keen look came into Gordon's face. "I don't know who your boarder is, Mrs. Slocum," he said. Mrs. Slocum looked at the doctor with a wide gape of surprise. "Thought you knew," said she. "His name is Meserve, Mr.
Tell her we'll pay it back when we get ours a Saturday. Don't you want to take Thirza Meserve with you? She's alone as usual while Huldy's entertainin' beaux on the side porch. Don't stay too long at the parsonage!" Rebecca was used to this sort of errand, for the whole village of Riverboro would sometimes be rocked to the very centre of its being by simultaneous desire for a yeast-cake.
"Rebecca," he continued, after a moment's pause, "who is that young girl with a lot of pretty red hair and very citified manners? She escorted me down the hill; do you know whom I mean?" "It must be Huldah Meserve; she is from Riverboro."

Brown, the only man in the party, had a thought of detaining him. "I'm sorry I spoke so quick, Rebecca," said Mrs. Meserve, greatly mortified at the situation. "But don't you believe a word that lyin' critter said! He did steal it off my doorstep, and how did you come to be ridin' and consortin' with him!

"You don't wonder that I ain't disposed to speak light when I hear there is anything queer about a house, do you?" "No, I don't, after that," Mrs. Emerson said. "But that ain't all," said Mrs. Meserve. "Did you see it again?" Mrs. Emerson asked. "Yes, I saw it a number of times before the last time.
Meserve, who sat at the foot of the table and helped the chicken while Mrs. Robinson poured coffee at the other end. She was a fit mother for Huldah, being much the most stylish person in Riverboro; ill health and dress were, indeed, her two chief enjoyments in life.
"You should have had it a week ago, but Huldah Meserve upset the ink bottle over her star, and we had to baste on another one. You are the last, though, and then we shall sew the stars and stripes together, and Seth Strout will get the top ready for hanging.
