"'Tain't fur." "Everybody'll look at us," Pinkey protested. The constable retorted callously: "Won't many more see you than saw you last night doin' the stomp dance in Main Street." "Did we do that?" Pinkey asked, startled. "Sure right in front of the Prouty House, and Helene Spenceley and a lot of folks was lookin' out of the windows." Wallie sat down on the edge of his cot weakly.
For diversion, he saw himself scampering over the country on horseback on visits to the friendly neighbours, entertaining frequently himself and entertained everywhere. As for Helene Spenceley she would soon learn the manner of man she had belittled! This frame of mind was responsible for the fact that when he had finished dressing and gone below he spoke patronizingly to Mr.
The ladies swarmed around that person, quoted his sayings delightedly, and declared a million times in Wallie's hearing that "he was a character!" And the worst of it was that Helene Spenceley did not seem sufficiently aware of Wallie's existence even to laugh at him.
Even Helene Spenceley sobered as she watched the battle that followed. The horse sprang into the air, twisted, and came down stiff-legged squealing. Now with his head between his forelegs he shot up his hind hoofs and at an angle to require all the grip in his rider's knees to stay in the saddle. Then he brought down his heels again, violently, to bite at Pinkey who kicked him.
By George! he would suggest it to her! He got up with alacrity, cheerful immediately. She was not on the veranda and Miss Eyester was of the opinion that she had gone to her room to take her tonic. "I have turned the shoulder, Wallie." Mrs. Appel held up the sweater triumphantly. "That's good," said Wallie, feeling uncomfortable with Miss Spenceley within hearing. "Wallie," Mrs.
It had hurt him that Helene Spenceley had not been over. Obviously he had taken too much for granted, for he had thought that when she saw he was in earnest once more and in a fair way to make a success of his second venture, things would be different between them. He had imagined she would express her approval in some way, but she seemed to take it all as a matter of course.
"It seemed so, after your performance, 'Gentle Annie'!" snapped Miss Spenceley. Actually the woman seemed to spit like a cat at him! She had the tongue of a serpent and a vicious temper. He hated her! Wallie removed his hat with exaggerated politeness and decided never to have anything more to say to Miss Spenceley.
I presume the middle of the summer at latest will see the last of you as I have no idea that you will be able to go through the discouragements and hardships attendant upon proving up on a homestead. My brother also will enjoy meeting you as he has heard so much of you. Looking for you soon, I am Sincerely, HELENE SPENCELEY. P.S. I have a new sweater pattern that I am sure will please you.
Yet, somehow, in some unique and extraordinary way that only a "dude" would think of, he had managed to come out on top. But the real basis for Canby's grievance, and one which he would not admit even to himself, was that however Wallie was criticized, Helene Spenceley never failed to find something to say in his defence.
"I'll go over to Canby's and hit the cook for some grub and be back pronto," said Pinkey. Wallie nodded. He was in no mood for conversation, for the realization of his failure was strong upon him, and he could not rid himself of the mortification he felt at having made a spectacle of himself before Helene Spenceley. The future looked utterly hopeless.
