For the next hour she was unpacking her box and arranging a pleasant little room at the back. She shared this with the spotty Geraldine, who seemed to be a good-natured girl. Apparently Miss Loach looked after her servants and made them comfortable. Thomas proved to be amiable if somewhat stupid, and welcomed Susan to tea affably but with sheepish looks.
"Of course it is," replied Spotty, putting nothing but his head out, "You will always find me at home whenever you call, Peter, and that is more than you can say of most other people." All the way to his own home in the dear Old Briar-patch, Peter thought about Spotty and how queer it was that he should carry his house around with him. "I wonder how it happens that he does it," thought he.
"So it may seem that I'm not quite squaring the account, but it's all I can do now. I'm going to give you your chance. I'm not going to ask you any questions. You know what you know and I know what I know. Now, Spotty, streak it out of town as fast as a train can take you, and don't come back!" Spotty Morgan made little wet rings on the table with his empty glass.
"I think he probably has something contagious," he said, "and it has scared the servants away. As Mr. Brown said, he looked spotty. I suggested to your husband that it might be as well to get the house emptied in case we are correct." "Oh, yes, by all means," I said eagerly. I couldn't get away too soon. "I'll go and get my " Then I stopped.
So he hurried to the Smiling Pool, where he was sure he would find Billy Mink and Jerry Muskrat and Grandfather Frog and Spotty the Turtle, and he hoped that perhaps some of the little people who live in the Green Forest might be there too.
"But how in the world could she get it, when Spotty had it, and the police that are holding him have that, and he's resisting extradition? Say, I wish I could go fishing!" and the colonel shook his head in dogged impatience at the tangle into which the affair had snarled itself. "Spotty must have robbed the jewelry store in spite of what he says about it," mused the Colonel.
I don't intend any one shall know I'm here, either. "Now, Spotty, I'm a plain-spoken man when there's occasion for it, and this is one of those times, I guess. You saved my life just now, I know that. Of course I realize I might just have been badly hurt, and perhaps have lingered on in a hospital for some years but that would be worse than death. I consider that you saved my life.
The party consisted of the Pole, a wretched looking clerk with a spotty face and a greasy coat, who had not a word to say for himself, and smelt abominably, a deaf and almost blind old man who had once been in the post office and who had been from immemorial ages maintained by someone at Amalia Ivanovna's.
"Colonel, did you ever know me to split on a pal unless he split first?" "No, Spotty. I never did." "Well, then, you stand a fine chance in getting me to do it now. Go to it if you like. I'm through spielin'!" and the crook turned away with an air of indifference. The colonel knew that Spotty never would tell, until he wanted to, but it did not deter him. He "went at" Spotty.
So Spotty will soon be at liberty again." "I'm glad of that. He's a sport in his own way." "Yes," agreed the colonel, "One point puzzles me," went on Mr. Mason, "and that is, why Cynthia I call her that for I've known her for years why she didn't make Larch support her after the separation. She could have had a regular divorce and big alimony that is if he could have paid."
