And if dere's any picnics or red balloons to be dealt out here, Mike's money pays for 'em see? Don't you butt in, or something'll be handed to you. Youse d settlers and reformers with your social ologies and your millionaire detectives have got dis district in a hell of a fix, anyhow.
Say, you go out wid Thornton again ter-night an' de Doc finds it out an' something'll happen. Say, Helena, fer God's sake, don't youse do it de Doc was bad enough dis afternoon when he let youse down easy, but he's worse now, an' " "Worse?" Helena interrupted, smiling a little apathetically.

Something'll turn up for me if I try to make it." This was good philosophy. Waiting passively for something to turn up is bad policy and likely to lead to disappointment; but waiting actively, ready to seize any chance that may offer, is quite different. The world is full of chances, and from such chances so seized has been based many a prosperous career.

"It's business," said Tom Olson, quietly. Hal looked from one to another of the faces of these working people. Not one but had friends in that trap; not one but might be in the same trap to-morrow!
Things were bad enough as it was." A ray of interest illumined the leisureliness of the Hon. Geoffrey's eyes. "You mean about Mrs. H'm, yes?" he said. "People are talking; you can't stop that. I'm so sorry for the poor Squire, and Mrs. Pendyce. I hope something'll be done." The Rector frowned. "I've done my best," he said. "Well hit, sir!

"Well, go ahead but you won't take the girl!" Snap Naab swung off the step, slamming the door behind him. "So-ho!" he exclaimed, sneeringly. "That's why you've made me foreman, eh?"
And this attitude was doing more harm than if he had been bitterly hostile to the idea. The Civic League was counting the votes, wondering if Green Valley could go dry over George Hoskins' head. But Grandma Wentworth was hoping for one more miracle before election day. "Something'll happen to swing George into line. We Green Valley people have always done everything together.
And if it holds good, something'll happen to stop you from ever having a house, so as to get you properly educated." My luck "held good" for the time being; for when Johnny came along in a few days he announced, in answer to a very warm welcome, that "something had gone wrong at No. 3 Well" and that "he'd promised to see to it at once."
