And then, when you see every one of those six Armstrongs going through without a scratch!" "I suppose," said Elmore, "that business is at a standstill. The streets must look rather dreary." "Business at a standstill!" exclaimed Lily. "What has Sue been writing you all this time? Why, there never was such prosperity in Patmos before!
