And now she insists and you will know it from her by the next mail on returning to Plattville, forsooth, because she has been reading your newspaper, and she says she knows you are in difficulties over it, and it is her moral obligation as by some wild reasoning of her own she considers herself responsible for your ruffling patron's having been alone when he was shot to go down and help.
You want to get out of Plattville, my friend; it's too small for you; you go to Rouen and you'll be city editor of the 'Journal' inside of a week. Let's have another." Mr.
The work the 'Herald' did has come nearer bringing us even with Six-Cross-Roads than anything else ever has. Queer, too a man that's only lived in Plattville a few years to be settling such an old score for us. They'll do their best to get him, and if they do there'll be trouble of an illegal nature.
"Let me get back," he said. "Let me get back to Plattville, where I belong." Tom Meredith came calling him. "Harkless? John Harkless?" "Here I am, Tom." "Come along, boy. What on earth are you doing out here all alone? I thought you were with I thought some people were with you. You're bored to death, I know; but come along and be bored some more, because I promised to bring you in for supper.
Bob Skillett, Force Johnson, and one or two others needed the care of a physician badly, and one man was suffering from a severely wrenched back. Homer had a train stopped at a crossing, so that his prisoners need not be taken through Plattville, and he brought them all safely to Rouen.
Natives of this place have sometimes remarked, easily, that their city had a population of from five to six thousand souls. It is easy to forgive them for such statements; civic pride is a virtue. The social and business energy of Plattville concentrates on the Square.
Only one or two of us old folks know what the original trouble was about; but you ask a Plattville man, to-day, what he thinks of the Cross-Roads and he'll be mighty apt to say, 'I guess we'll all have to go over there some time and wipe those hoodlums out. It's been coming to that a long time.
Martin assures me that he carefully peruses my article on Chaldean decoration whenever he rearranges his exhibition windows, and I bear in mind the clipping from a Rouen paper you showed me, commenting generously upon the scholarship of the 'Herald. But for fifteen years I have tried to improve the art feeling in Plattville, and I may say that I have worked in the face of no small discouragement.
The editor was a clay-colored gentleman with a goatee, whose one surreptitious eye betokened both indolence of disposition and a certain furtive shrewdness. He collected all the outstanding subscriptions he could, on the morning of the issue just mentioned, and, thoughtfully neglecting several items on the other side of the ledger, departed from Plattville forever.
A capitalist bought the whole north side of the Square to erect new stores, and the Carlow Bank began the construction of a new bank building of Bedford stone on Main Street. Then it was whispered, next affirmed, that the "Herald" had succeeded in another of its enterprises, and Main Street was to be asphalted. That was the end of the "old days" of Plattville.
