"It's quite evident the business men of Prouty agree with him, since none of them will trust her." "That doesn't alter my opinion." Mr. Pantin's reply was calm. "It's the person behind a loan that counts, anyway not the security. If I had been in Wentz's place when she said she could handle those sheep and meet the obligation when due, I should have believed her." Again Mr.
He put himself into a very comfortable frame of mind, and the girl at his side, by her mere presence, added to his belief that this was a pretty good old world, after all. He had lost some of his respect for "reform." It had been exemplified for him mostly by such men as Prouty and his intolerant kind by Spinney and his dupes.
It had reached the Major's ears that Mormon Joe had said that Prouty had no more future than a prairie dog town. He had been in his cups at the time but that did not palliate the offense. Now, there there was the kind of a man that helped a town!
A street car whizzing through Prouty would put new life in it, and so hungry were its inhabitants for entertainment that he had no doubt whatever that the amusement park would make ample returns upon the investment. Mr. Butefish made a note of Mr.
Aloud he said: "Go to your party, Katie, and I hope with all my heart it will be everything you anticipate." It was the most ambitious affair that had been attempted in Prouty this function at the Prouty House. The printed invitations had made a deep impression; besides, wild rumors were flying about as to the elaborate costumes that were to be worn by the socially prominent.
"Doc" Fussel, whose sales during the day had been a package of rat poison and a bottle of painkiller, looked like a lemon that has lain too long in the window, when he arose and diffidently offered his suggestion for the relief of Prouty.
Yet as she looked back it seemed to her that some subtle change had come over Hugh from the very first day in Prouty, when he had seen the Prentice person and colored. He had been eager to go and see her, and had not been too keen for Beth's company upon the occasion, she had imagined.
Apparently he did not realize that he had spoken the wrong piece. The auditorium suddenly rocked with laughter. Miss Prouty shooed Andy off the stage and apologized for him. Then she spoke the "Dear parents" poem herself. Cathy just had time to whisper angrily to Jerry, "It's all your fault you taught him that awful rhyme," before Andy came to sit with his family.
I ran to my room and clum out the window " "Your mother " "She laughed." "God!" He stooped and picked up the little bundle she had dropped at her feet. "Come along, Partner. You are going into the sheep business with 'Mormon Joe." The experienced ear of Major Stephen Douglas Prouty told him that he was getting a hot axle.
There was a general turning of heads as Mormon Joe, thick of tongue, lurched over the back of the seat in front. "Kindly make it brief," replied Mr. Butefish reluctantly. "We still have important business to transact." "I only want to say that this country hasn't any more natural resources than a tin roof and when Prouty got any bigger than a saloon and a blacksmith shop it overreached itself."
