He saw at once where he stood in what danger. If she insisted that she was ill and unable to go back, there would be a fuss. The story would come out. Everything would be gone. Schwitter's, of all places! At the foot of the stairs, Schwitter pulled himself together. After all, the girl was only ill. There was nothing for the police. He looked at his watch. The doctor ought to be here by this time.
And, when he held out his hand, smiling: "I just had to do it, Mr. "And how's everything going? You look mighty fine and happy, Tillie." "I'm all right. Mr. Schwitter's gone to the postoffice. He'll be back at five. Will you have a cup of tea, or will you have something else?" The instinct of the Street was still strong in Tillie. The Street did not approve of "something else."
He cut off my brother-in-law's leg charged him as much as if he had grown a new one for him. He used to come here. Now he goes to Schwitter's, like the rest. Pretty girl he had with him. You can bet on Wilson." So Max Wilson was taking Sidney to Schwitter's, making her the butt of garage talk! The smiles of the men were evil. Joe's hands grew cold, his head hot.
"I'd better explain first what happened, and why it happened. Then if you are willing to send him a line, I think it would help. He saw a girl in white in the car and followed in his own machine. He thought it was you, of course. He didn't like the idea of your going to Schwitter's. Carlotta was taken ill. And Schwitter and and Wilson took her upstairs to a room." "Do you believe that, K.?"
McKee in her doorway, with a little knot of people around her. The Street was getting the night's news. He rented a car at a local garage, and drove himself out into the country. He was not minded to have any eyes on him that day. He went to Schwitter's first. Schwitter himself was not in sight. Bill was scrubbing the porch, and a farmhand was gathering bottles from the grass into a box.
"You had been very successful." She did not look up. "Well, I had and I hadn't. I'm not going to worry you about that. My offer is this: We'll just try to forget about about Schwitter's and all the rest, and if I go back I'll take you on in the operating-room." "You sent me away once!" "Well, I can ask you to come back, can't I?" He smiled at her encouragingly.
"I'll tell you what we'll do," he said. "We won't go to any of the old places. I've found a new roadhouse in the country that's respectable enough to suit anybody. We'll go out to Schwitter's and get some dinner. I'll promise to get you back early. How's that?" In the end she gave in. And on the way out he lived up to the letter of their agreement.
If their escapade became known, it would end things between Sidney and him. She was sure of that. She needed time to think it out. It must become known without any apparent move on her part. If, for instance, she became ill, and was away from the hospital all night, that might answer. The thing would be investigated, and who knew The car turned in at Schwitter's road and drew up before the house.
Schwitter had a little bar and served the best liquors he could buy; but he discouraged rowdiness had been known to refuse to sell to boys under twenty-one and to men who had already overindulged. The word went about that Schwitter's was no place for a good time. Even Tillie's chicken and waffles failed against this handicap. By the middle of April the house-cleaning was done.
It seemed to me that the mere fact of your caring for him " That was shaky ground; he got off it quickly. "Schwitter has closed up. Do you want to stop there?" "Not to-night, please." They were near the white house now. Schwitter's had closed up, indeed. The sign over the entrance was gone. The lanterns had been taken down, and in the dusk they could see Tillie rocking her baby on the porch.
