I don't know whether he did or not; for five minutes after that Heiny has my old seat, and I'm inside behind the ground-glass door, sittin' at a reg'lar roll-top, with a lot of file cases spread out, puzzlin' over this incorporation junk that makes the Fundin' Comp'ny the little joker in the Corrugated deck.
I could tell that Vee was puzzlin' over the situation by the way she was starin' at the youngster and grippin' her muff. Course you might say we wa'n't any Rescue Mission, or anything like that; but somehow this was diff'rent. Here was Helma, right in front of us! And I'm free to admit the proposition was too much for me. "Gee!" says I. "Handed out rough sometimes, ain't it?
"'There you are! says I. But for an' all, they parted, an' rode roun' an' roun', as slow as they could crawl, stoppin' every now an' agen, an' listening for all they was worth; an' me settin' on the log, puzzlin' my brains. At last I hears another whimper. "'There you are again! says I.
Tulliver?" Maggie looked hurt and discouraged, while her father said, "Why, it's one o' the books I bought at Partridge's sale. They was all bound alike, it's a good binding, you see, and I thought they'd be all good books. There's Jeremy Taylor's 'Holy Living and Dying' among 'em.

An' it's queerer still to think of you an' me sittin' here puzzlin' out these things." "Yes."

"O, yes'm," returned the girl, gladly. "Almost every day, in the summatime."
It was all mighty puzzlin' to me, but that time you didn't take me to that dance hush now I began to understand. I told Jason an' he only got mad. He didn't understand, for he was wilful and he was a man, and men don't somehow seem to see and take things like women they just want to go ahead and make them the way they want them. But I understood right then.
I've got a friend named Johnnie Watson; his uncle works down at the court-house and told him about it, so it can't be denied. Then there was a case I heard of over in " Mr. Genesis uttered a loud chuckle. "My goo'ness!" he exclaimed. "How you c'leck all' dem fac's? Lan' name!
