She relit another half-candle that she had blown out for economy when the talk set in, and called Uncle Mo's attention to the moribund condition of his own: "There's not another end in the house, Mo," said she. So Uncle Mo had to use that one, or get to bed in the dark.
Perhaps if Mo had been present she would merely have handed Micky the letter directed to his aunt, which would have been palpably no concern of Uncle Mo's, inquirin' and askin' questions. As it was, she accompanied it with verbal instructions: "Now you know what you've got to do, young Micky. You've just got to give this letter to your great-aunt Treadwell.
Then, one windy morning, a punctual equinoctial gale, gathering up its energies to keep inoffensive persons awake all night and, if possible, knock some chimney-stacks down, blew Uncle Mo's pipelight out, and caused him to make use of an expression.
No doubt Mo's confidence had been reposed in him under the seal of an honourable secrecy, but to honour it under the circumstances seemed to him to be "cutting it rather fine." He resolved to sacrifice his integrity on the altar of friendship, and sought out Mr.
Mo was smiling down at a bearded professorial type. "How do you do?" A young Japanese man shook Joe's hand. "Thanks for the invitation," Joe said, flashing the card. "Are you a friend of Winifred's?" "Yes. Joe Burke." "Wendell Sasaki." "Nice place you have here," Joe said. A well-dressed couple entered, and Wendell excused himself. Joe drifted along a wall of Mo's photographs.
Having passed over the glittering needles in safety Timtom pushed forward on his way, being urged to haste by the delays he had suffered. When he reached the place where he had encountered the snow-storm, he found the birds had eaten all the pop-corn, so he was able to proceed without interruption. At last he reached the Monarch of Mo's palace and demanded an audience with the Princess Pattycake.
"So," Joe said to them both, "this is where you're going to make a stand gallery and print shop?" "And classes," Rob said. His smile broadened as he considered Rhiannon. "Help yourselves to wine and goodies." "Hi, Wendell," Mo said. They stepped away from the door. Joe recognized the gallery owner from Mo's show the previous year. People began arriving in numbers.
Whoever knows the class she moved in will have no trouble in recalling some case of a similar uncertainty. This is by way of apology for Uncle Mo's so easily letting that perplexity go, and catching at another point. "What did he make you promise him, M'riar? Not to let on, I'll pound it! He wanted you to keep it snug wasn't that the way of it?" "Ah, that was it, Mo.
"Mo's an impatient old cock, you see!" said Mr. Alibone, who seemed to understand Peter Jackson, and vice versa. And Uncle Mo said: "I suppose I shall have to mark time." To which the others replied that was about it. "Only whatever did the young child say, mister?" said Aunt M'riar; like a woman's curiosity, to know. But those other two, they was curious underneath-like; only denied it.
"Instead of telling of it all, straight off, to your poor old uncle!" There was no serious indignation in Uncle Mo's tone, but the boy was too new for nice distinctions. The suggestion of disloyalty wounded him deeply, and he rushed into explanation. "Becorze becorze becorze becorze," said he "becorze Micky said not to!" He arrived at his climax like a squib that attains its ideal.
