Galusha gazed at him uncomprehendingly. "Why ah Dear me!" he faltered. "I that is well, really, I fear I do not fully grasp your ah meaning, Mr. Pulcifer." Raish seemed to find this amusing. He laughed aloud. "No reason why you should yet awhile, Perfessor," he declared. "I'll try to get it across to you in a minute, though. What I asked was if you wanted to make money. Do, don't you?"
Abe Wackernagel, of the New Canaan hotel, was very fond, in the years that followed, of bragging to his transient guests of his niece who was the wife of "such a Millersville Normal perfessor Perfessor Fairchilds." And Mr. Jake Getz was scarcely less given to referring to his daughter "where is married to such a perfessor at the Normal." "But what do I get out of it?" he was wont ruefully to add.
He had left no address. Where did his furniture go? Nowhere; he'd left it behind. Was any one in the house acquainted with him? Mrs. Marron in the other ground-floor flat had tried to be. Not much luck, she thought. Mrs. Marron was voluble, ignorant, and a willing source of information. "The perfessor? Sure! I knew'm. 'Twas me give'm the name. He was a Mejum. Naw! Not for money.
Amanda looked at him in astonishment. "If you're a perfessor or no. They'll be sure to ast you." Mr. Fairchilds thoughtfully considered it. "You mean," he said, light coming to him, "they will ask me whether I am a professor of religion, don't you?" "Why, to be sure!" "Oh!" "And you better have your answer ready." "What, in your judgment, may I ask, would be a suitable answer to that?"
"Professor Booth," he says, seeing he has got to say something or else Jane will think the worse of him, "I am " "Keep still," says the perfessor, real quiet. "I'll tend to you in a minute or two. YOU don't count for much. This thing is mostly between me and my wife." When he talks so decided I thinks mebby that perfessor has got something into him besides science after all.
'Who then, 'Lihu? says I. 'Jesus, says he, with that queer, smilin' look, as though it was the naturalest thing on earth. 'He'll wake me up when , and he couldn't wait no longer, his head fell over as heavy as a log, and that's the way he's been ever since, sleepin' like death. "Wall, Cinthy thinks somebody'd ought to come in and make a prayer. 'He wasn't a perfessor, says she.
I'm going to break the news to her in the morning." But Jane still hates him. She's making herself hate him hard. She wouldn't of been a human woman if she had let herself be coaxed up all to oncet. Purty soon she says: "I'm tired." And she went out looking like the perfessor was a perfect stranger. She was a peace, Jane was. After she left, the perfessor set there quite a spell and smoked.
Or if you'd went to the office down in Pedro and got a pass, you'd 'a been all right. But when a guy turns up at the gate, and looks like a dude and talks like a college perfessor, he don't get by, see?" "I see," said Hal. And then, "If you'll give me the price of a breakfast out of my money, I'll be obliged." "Breakfast is over," said Bill. "You sit round till the pinyons gets ripe."
Josiah wuz so happy her words slipped offen him without his sensin' 'em and I wuz too happy to dispute or lay anything up, when she went on and sez: "I spoze that folks thought from our jawin' so much that we wuz man and wife; and he a yellin' out acrost the sleeper and kinder cryin', and I a hollerin' back to him to 'shet up and go to sleep! It is the last time I will ever try to carry a man to his wife; but I spozed when I started with him, he bein' a perfessor, he would act different!"
"Why," says the perfessor, "their factory is in this very town." And nothing would do fur me but I must go and see that factory. I couldn't till the quarantine was pried loose from our house. But when it was, I went down town and hunted up the place and looked her over. It was a big factory, and I was kind of proud of that. I was glad she wasn't no measly, little, old-fashioned, run-down concern.
