"Well," said Jane, "I guess it's good I did, because look that's the very reason mamma did somep'm so's he can't come any more except in daytime.
"I guess he didn't hear us," said Jane, when he had disappeared into the interior. "He acks awful funny!" she added, thoughtfully. "First when he was in love of Miss Pratt, he'd be mad about somep'm almost every minute he was home.
"You ast me when you firs' come home, an' you ast me nex' day, an' mighty near ev'y day all time you been here; an' las' Sunday you ast me twicet." He shook his head solemnly. "Look to me mus' be somep'm might lamiDAL 'bout 'at statue!" "Mighty what?" "Mighty lamiDAL!" George, burst out laughing. "What DO 'at word mean, Mist' Bibbs?" "It's new to me, George. Where did you hear it?"
I guess she thought Willie oughtn't to behave so's't you said so many things about him like that; so to-day she did somep'm, an' now he can't come any more to behave that loving way of Miss Pratt that you said you would be in the lunatic asylum if he didn't quit. But he hasn't found it out yet." "Found what out, please?" asked Mr. Parcher, feeling more affection for Jane every moment.
"I could tell you the first part of it up to where the secret begins, I expect." "Do!" Mr. Parcher urged. "Well, it's about somep'm Willie's been WEARIN'," Jane began, moving closer to him as they slowly walked onward.
The other two agreed. "Good idea." "Hey, Sammy, wantcha do somep'm for us...." Just after nine o'clock Anthony staggered to his feet and, bidding them a thick good night, walked unsteadily to the door, handing Sammy one of his two quarters as he passed out.
"What makes you think so?" "Well, because! I KIND of thought he must be married, or anyways somep'm, when he talked to Mr. Genesis this mornin'. He said he knew how some people got married in Pennsylvania an' India, an' he said they were only seven or eight years old.
"He hasn't found out he can't come back to your house to-night; an' he can't come back to-morrow night, nor day-after-to-morrow night, nor " "Is it because your mamma is going to tell him he can't?" "No, Mr. Parcher. Mamma says he's too old an' she said she didn't like to, anyway. She just DID somep'm." "What? What did she do?" "It's a secret," said Jane.
"I guess he's right; you must of been thinkin' about somep'm' or other. It's wunnerful the damage them little machines can do you'd never think it but I guess they ain't much case ag'in this fella that was drivin' it." "You bet your life they ain't no case on me!" the young man in the duster agreed, with great bitterness.
"An' this is the joke on mamma: you know that tailor that let papa's dress-suit 'way, 'way out; well, Mamma thinks that tailor must think she's crazy, or somep'm 'cause she took papa's dress-suit to him last Monday to get it pressed for this card-party, an she guesses he must of understood her to tell him to do lots besides just pressin' it.
