The butler made a snatch at it, but Captain Dan was too quick. He unfolded the crumpled sheet of paper. It bore the printed name and address of one of Scarford's newer and more recently established grocers and provision dealers, and read as follows: EDWARD H. HAPGOOD, SIR: Our order clerk informs us that you expect a higher percentage of commission on goods ordered by your household.
Azuba dismissed the past with a scornful sniff and a wave of the hand. "Trumet!" she repeated. "Trumet ain't nothin'. Nobody's anything in Trumet. We're in Scarford now, and Scarford's a progressive, up-to-date place. We've all changed since we've been here, and I'm changin' much as anybody.
"Say, Dan, I didn't know you knew them. Annette didn't say anything about it." Annette hadn't known of it; her expression showed that. The Honorable and Mrs. Fenholtz were Scarford's wealthiest citizens. Mr. Fenholtz was proprietor of a large brewery and was an ex-mayor. His wife was prominent socially; as prominent as Mrs. Black hoped to be some day.
So, upon the fateful day when, preceded by a wagonload of trunks and bags and boxes, the Dotts once more drove through Scarford's streets to the mansion which was to be their home permanently, according to Serena; temporarily, so her husband hoped Azuba accompanied them. And Azuba was wildly excited and tirelessly voluble.
