Frank Nelsen asked. "Music of your own, to tell about space? Got any words for it?" "Nope," Mitch said. "Maybe it shouldn't have any words. Anyhow, the tune doesn't come clear, yet. I haven't been There." "Maybe some more of Otto's beer will help," Frank suggested. "Here one can, each, to begin." For once, Frank had an urge to get slightly pie-eyed. "High's a good word," he amended. "High and sky!
"The Menard House," says Mitch; "do you mean that hotel there now?" "The very same," said Mr. Miller; "didn't you know that?" "No," says Mitch.
And Mitch says, "Pa says that is about the way. This life is sorrow, you always lose, you never win, and if you do, it's worse'n if you lost; and you're just bein' put through a kind of schoolin' for somethin' else.
There was a gray-haired little feller standin' behind the desk, and awful busy with people comin' and goin', and we stood there tryin' to get in a word; but just as one of us would say, "What time " a man would step up and say: "I'm checkin' out," or "Let me have 201 again," or somethin' like that. Finally nobody was there and Mitch got it out, "When does the steamboat go to St. Louis?"
Just then he said: "There comes that Mitch Miller, and I think we'd better quit playin' anyway." I knew Mitch's name and had seen him, but we hadn't run together yet. Mitch climbed over the fence into the orchard, and Bob began to kind a move away. I could see that Bob didn't want him, for he said, "Come on, Arthur." Everybody called me Skeet, though my name was Arthur, which I hated.
Zueline can't come here any more; and Mitchie mustn't come to our house, and they mustn't go to parties where they meet. So ma said she thought so too." Here Mitch grew still and he began to shake again, and I just lay there and looked at the stars and waited.
It took all the afternoon. And when Mitch got off the witness stand he was kind of weak, and his pa went up to him and led him out, and then they locked up the jury to keep 'em from hearin' anything. And the case went over till the next morning. And the next mornin' we was all down there as before.
I don't believe Mitch worked on the newspaper more'n a week or ten days, but lots happened; and I went down to see him a good deal to hear Dutchie Bale talk and swear. He swore awful, especially on press day; for the press nearly always broke down just as they started to print. Here he's over at Springfield, and me runnin' the paper and tryin' to print a paper on a grindstone like this.
Bennett's daughter Nellie is goin' to be married and we can get under the window and see it. It's the grandest thing ever happened here. The wedding cake has diamonds on it, and everybody that comes, that's invited, of course, is given some kind of a gift, and Nellie has solid silver buckles on her shoes and a veil that cost $50. I'll come for you," says Mitch.
Miller was let go because he preached that sermon about God bein' in everything, which he didn't mean except just as a person talks to hisself. He was dreamin', like Mitch, when he said it. So Mr.
