He was convinced that he was destined to be a great boss, and satisfied that Cedar Mountain House would help his plans which lay in the direction of the legislature hence he sought to identify himself with it. For the present, also, he stuck to Shay.
In the year 1735 a worthy Puritan divine, pastor over a little flock in the town of Malden, made the following entries in his diary: "January 31. Bought a shay for L27 10s. The Lord grant it may be a comfort and a blessing to my family. "March, 1735. Had a safe and comfortable journey to York. "April 24. Shay overturned, with my wife and I in it; yet neither of us much hurt.
"Gimme back ring ... busted word ... busted engagement ... want ring anyway ... maybe nozzer girl ... you can't tell!" His hoarse voice rose querulously. "Gimme ring, I shay!" Honor shrank back from him against Mrs. King. "Jimsy," she said, "when the boy that gave me this ring comes and asks me for it, he can have it. You can't!"
I wonder what noils are? A big sign on Front Street proclaims TEA CADDIES, which has a pleasant grandmotherly flavor. A little brass plate, gleamingly polished, says HONORARY CONSULATE OF JAPAN. Beside immense motor trucks stood a shabby little horse and buggy, restored to service, perhaps, by the war-time shortage of gasoline. It was a typical one-horse shay of thirty years ago.
Two days of life remained to Shay. Hope had died out of their hearts. Hartigan was preparing him for the great change that is always a bitter change when so approached. Belle still clung to hope.

Hanger up into the shay, and rode alongside to guarantee them; and then the next day, on the very same horse, up he comes at Hanger-dene, and overhauls every tub on the premises, with a parchment as big as a malt-shovel! Such a man was not fit to lay a knife and fork by.
His cheeks grew hot at the very thought of it. In the shadows, beyond him, a form straightened up stupidly: "Shay, Profesh Burgush, that you?" Dennie's father, half-drunken still! Oh, Shades of classic culture! To what depths in social contact may a college man fall in this wretched land! "Shay! Is't you, or ain't it you? You gonna tell me?" Old Bond queried.
"And all get drowned," murmured C. C., in his gloomiest tone. "I'll wash your face with snow the first time it snows in this summer land if you don't be more cheerful," threatened Miss Shay. "Well, something will happen, I'm sure," declared C. C. "When do we move?" "To-morrow," said Mr. Ringold, while Blake and Joe told Mr. Hadley of their poor success in finding Mr. Duncan.
"There now, my lady," he said triumphantly when they were on the platform. "I suppose you thought you were comin' to Rubeville. That don't look so hay-seedy? Eh?" He pointed to a dusty automobile whose driver, a boy of eighteen or twenty, with a torn hat, eyed her with dull curiosity. "I suppose you expected a one-hoss shay. No, indeedy. You've come to all the comforts of home, little girl."
"I I cannot go, gentlemen," she stammered. "Please don't insist please don't ask why. I cannot go " "I shay, Conshance, by Jove, the joke's on you," exclaimed Freddie. "I know who 't ish you're waitin' f-for. Well, he can't come. He's locked in." "Freddie, you are drunk!" in deep scorn. "I know it," he admitted cheerfully. "We've looked ever'where for you. We're your frien's.
