"If you had only put some one else in my place " began Eustice Gray uncomfortably, but seven voices immediately shouted to him, in friendly chorus to "dry up." "We'll make Plummers Lane look sick," declared Jack. "From the looks of it, I don't think there's been a shovel down here since the first snow. If the S. C. thinks they have marked more off for us than we can clean up, we'll show them!
"It's too late now, dear." But the minister's eyes thanked her, and the big clasp of his arms. A minister may be mortal. "Maybe it is and maybe it isn't," spoke the minister's wife, in riddles. "We'll wait and see." "But, Felicia but, dear, they're both them Plummers." "Maybe they are and maybe they aren't," laughed she.
"Hugh!" some one called. "Hugh, it's down Plummers Lane. Going to get the car out? I'll help you." "That's Jack," cried Rosemary, trying to see through the white curtains without being seen. "Oh, dear, men have all the fun!" In spite of Winnie's remonstrances and Aunt Trudy's worry that they would have pneumonia, the three girls tried to stay up till their brother came back.
No doubt these rules had their nucleus in the half-dozen families, among whom we may count the shadowy Plummers, who took upon themselves for Fox County, by the King's pleasure, the administration of justice, the practice of medicine and of the law, and the performance of the charges of the Church of England a long time ago.
We were glad enough to get the chance before and I think it looks mighty cheap to try to beg off now just because it isn't convenient to work. I'm going to be on deck to-morrow morning if I'm the only one who turns up." Six boys, however, reported the next morning to Bill McCormack and at their own suggestion, were set to work clearing the Plummers Lane section of the accumulated snow.
The writings of your Dews, and Baxters, and Plummers, and Postells, and Andersons, and the proceedings of your ecclesiastical bodies, abundantly show this.
It was to be expected that the child should come into her inheritance sometime, early or late. If early well. "It's the Plummer in her. All the Plummers have kept diaries," Aunt Olivia mused, knitting stolidly on while the child stooped painfully to her self-imposed task.
"Hugh, couldn't I take hot coffee and doughnuts to the boys while they are working in the snow afternoons? I know they must get hungry and it is so cold and windy down Plummers Lane the wind comes across the marsh." "Go ahead," her brother encouraged her. "Get Sarah to help you. I imagine Jack is having a tough time and he'll appreciate a little unspoken sympathy.
But Duty had not trusted her; unseen and uninvited, Duty had slipped into the jolting old vehicle between Aunt Olivia and Rebecca Mary. "She isn't the Plummer she was once," sighed Duty. But at the little station, in those few final moments, two Plummers, an old one and a young one, waited quietly together. Neither of them broke down nor made ado. Duty retired in palpable chagrin.
