But you must go, Maude, and Alice and I will go with you, by the first train to-morrow morning." Quincy had Andrew get the carryall ready and he and Alice went round to say good-bye. He told Arthur Scates he would come or send for him soon, and that his grandmother could go and help Mrs. Pettingill.
"Damned nuisance!" said Richard Van Winkle. "I want to hear Brewster's speech." "Speech! Speech!" echoed everywhere. Men settled into their places. "Mr. Montgomery Brewster," Pettingill introduced. Again the bell rang long and loud. "Reinforcements. I'll bet there's a patrol in the street," remarked Oliver Harrison. "If it's only the police, let them in," said Pettingill.
He saluted hardly anybody except his entertainers and the Doctor. One would have said, to look at him, that he was not at the party by choice; and it was natural enough to think, with Susy Pettingill, that it must have been a freak of the dark girl's that brought him there, for he had the air of a shy and sad-hearted recluse. It was hard to say what could have brought Elsie Venner to the party.
On a raised platform, amidst his fireworks, stood Pettingill. He felt that the great hour of his life had come, and, in a firm, clear voice, he said: "The fust fireworks, feller-citizens, will be a rocket, which will go up in the air, bust, and assume the shape of a serpint."

"So it's Master Sawyer, is it?" said Strout as he weighed the saccharine substance. "I thought it was Mister before a man was a Master."
