He would not have attempted to release himself from it she was sure of that and it appeared intolerable to her that another should be permitted to do anything that would unfavourably reflect on him. Then, somewhat to her relief, Hastings started another topic. "You have sold quite a few binders and harrows one way or another, haven't you, Jim?" he said. Sproatly laughed. "I have," he said.
Sally noticed it all with disgust, and then, seeing that Hawtrey had opened his eyes, she made a cup of coffee and got him to drink it. After that he smiled at her. "Thanks," he said feebly. "Where's Sproatly? My side stabs me." Sally raised one hand. "You're not to say a word. Sproatly's gone for Watson, and he'll soon fix you up. Now lie quite still, and shut your eyes again."
If it's not quite neat to-morrow you'll do it again." Sproatly grinned as she went out. A few moments later the girl drove away through the bitter frost. Sally, who returned with her mother, passed a fortnight at Hawtrey's homestead before Watson decided that his patient could be entrusted to Sproatly's care.
Hawtrey was sitting near the stove inside it on the arm of Sally's chair. Then, though he was not greatly astonished, Sproatly drew back a pace or two into the shadow, for it became evident that there were only two courses open to him. He could judiciously announce his presence by making the door rattle, and then go in and mention as casually as possible that Mrs.
"Then, since you heard what Sproatly said, you would be willing to do anything that appeared possible to prevent Gregory throwing Harry's dollars away?" "Yes," said Agatha, "I have been thinking about it." A little sparkle of disdainful anger crept into her eyes. "Gregory seems to have been acting shamefully." "Then as he won't listen to Allen, we must get Sally to impress that fact on him."
They've added a few dollars to my salary, and hint that it's possible they may put me in charge of an implement store." "And you're satisfied?" "Well," said Sproatly, with an air of reflection, "in some respects, I suppose I am. In others, the thing's galling. You have to report who you've called upon, and, if you couldn't do business, why they bought somebody else's machines.
Hastings at the foot with her little daughters, and Agatha, Sproatly, and Winifred between them. Sproatly and Winifred had just driven over from the railroad settlement, as they did now and then, and that was why the meal, which was usually served early in the evening, had been delayed an hour or so. The two hired men, whom Mrs.
Have you any more reasons for concerning yourself about what Gregory does with Wyllard's property?" "I've one; I suppose you don't know who he has left at least a part of it to?" Sproatly started as an idea crept into his mind. "I wonder if you're right," he said. "I feel reasonably sure of it." Winifred smiled.
"Oh," she said, "I've only brought one of my mittens." "I'll go back for the other," responded Sproatly promptly. "You don't know where I left it." "Then I'll lend you one of mine. It will certainly go on," the man persisted. Agatha objected to this, and Sproatly, who fancied that Mrs. Hastings was watching him, let her go, after which he and the others moved out into the street.
"Then," said Sproatly, decisively, "they don't know very much. They're the kind of men who'd spend an hour every morning putting their clothes on, and they haven't found out that there's no comfort in any garment until you've had to sew two or three flour bag patches on to it. Then think of the splendid freeness of the other thing.
