He seemed to have grasped the truth as a little child, and I had no fears about his being one of the Lord's flock. Mrs. Walters entered the house directly after I had left Jim. She was very concerned when she learnt what it was, and anxious about Roddy, but promised to stay all night. One word I had with old Roger before I left.
"Well, if you don't want to prove it, and rather let us have the right to call you anything we want to well, all right, then," he said. "You look out what you call me!" Roddy cried, only the more incensed, in spite of the pains Penrod was taking with him. "I don't haf to prove it. It's MINE!" "What kind o' proof is that?" Sam Williams demanded severely. "You GOT to prove it and you can't do it!"
"You mean to hang this man for a crime he never committed?" "Why not?" asked Mr. Roddy. "It's between us and it can be done. It's justice, isn't it?" "My God!" said the Judge. He began to bite his knuckles as if he was tempted sorely enough. What made me step over to look at the unconscious man's face? I do not know, unless it was the design of Fate.
Oh, don't think I'm crazy with drink. No! I'm clever." The Judge and Mr. Roddy had stood up and the Judge could not seem to find a word to say, but Mr. Roddy clenched his freckled fists. "What yer want?" he said. "I came to tell you," said Chalmers, "that the joke is on you. I didn't expect the pleasure of seeing you, Roddy, my fine penny-a-liner. But you're in this, too. The joke is on you.
"Why, Roddy, your candy is gone!" announced Sister in surprise. "When did you eat it?" Brother came up to her where she stood by the table of presents. "I didn't eat it," he said wonderingly. "I left it right there on top of that book. Isn't that funny!" "Well, it's gone," asserted Sister. "Someone ate it!" Winifred had heard, and now she turned on the unfortunate Charlie.
"I suppose," she went on, "I'll find everything here fearfully Western. Some nice people called yesterday, though. Do you know the Magsworth Bittses? Auntie says they're charming. Will Roddy be at your party?" "I guess he will," returned Penrod, finding this intelligible. "The mutt!" "Really!" Fanchon exclaimed airily. "Aren't you great pals with him?" "What's 'pals'?" "Good heavens!
And, from within the shack, Roddy added his own protest. "Let me up, can't you?" he cried. "I got to see what's goin' on out there, haven't I? I guess I'm not goin' to lay here all DAY! What you think I'm made of?" "You hush up!" Penrod commanded. "This is a nice biznuss!" he continued, deeply aggrieved. "What kind of a 'nishiation do you expect this is, anyhow?"
She opened this and scrambled out a thing she had not done for five long years of adolescence upon the leaded space above the built-out bath-room on the first floor. Once upon a time she and Roddy had descended thence by the drain-pipe.
Mark and Dank and Roddy watched them over the banisters. Aunt Charlotte put her hand deep down in her pocket and brought out a little parcel wrapped in white paper. She whispered: "If I give you something to keep, will you promise not to show it to anybody and not to tell?" Mary promised.
She didn't want to go. She thought: "I shall have to tell the Sutcliffes. Now, this evening. And Mamma. They'll be sorry and Mamma will be glad." But Mamma was not glad. Mamma hated it when you upset arrangements. She said, "I declare I never saw anybody like you in my life. After all the trouble and expense." But you could see it was Roddy she was thinking about.
