Streeter, one day, and great was his disappointment that the man could not seem to understand what the song said. "But don't you see?" pleaded David. "I'm telling you that it's your pear-tree blossoms come back to say how glad they are that you didn't kill them that day." "Pear-tree blossoms come back!" ejaculated the old man. "Well, no, I can't see. Where's yer pear-tree blossoms?"
Then he cut a number of inch saplings into six-foot lengths, with which he made a platform from the pole to the tree, and spreading his blanket on this elastic couch announced that his bed was ready. The boys made a hearty supper from the fragments that were left from the bountiful provision that Mrs. Streeter had made for their dinner.
"Well, I think, Perry," returned Mr. Jack soberly, "that Bill Dowd wasn't playing the fool, when he said that, quite so much as he sometimes is, perhaps." "Hm-m, maybe not," murmured Perry Larson perplexedly. "Still, I'm free ter say I do think 't was kind o' queer." He paused, then slapped his knee suddenly. "Say, did I tell ye about Streeter Old Bill Streeter an' the pear tree?" Again Mr.
"What price did you get?" his brother inquired; and he answered, "An average of 78 3/8." There had been another sharp rise at the end, and he had sold all his stock without checking the advance. "I got five-eighths," said Oliver. "O ye gods!" There were some unhappy "shorts" in the office; Mr. Streeter was one of them.
Stone and myself; Mr. Frothingham, Mr. William Silsbee, Mr. Shackford, of Lynn, Mr. Pike, Mr. Streeter, and my husband, besides Mr. Stone and his son. Mr. Alcott said he would commence with the Nativity, and first read Milton's Hymn. Then he retreated to his corner, and for about an hour and three quarters kept up an even flow of thought, without a word being uttered by any other person present.
We are taking it for granted that you have a friend prepared to act for you; for your conduct appeared to be premeditated." "You are quite right," answered Streeter; "I have two friends to whom I shall be pleased to introduce you. Come this way, if you will be so kind." The preliminaries were speedily arranged, and the meeting was to take place next morning at daylight, with pistols.
"Oh!" said Davison, impatiently, "I don't pretend to know the rules of this idiotic game!" Streeter stepped forward. "I merely wished to give you the opportunity of firing at me if you cared to do so," he said; "and now I desire to apologize for my action at the café. I may say that what I did was done under a misapprehension. Anything that I can do to make reparation I am willing to do."
He quite admitted, even to himself, that a critic had every right to criticise that was what he was for but he claimed that a man who pretended to be an author's friend and who praised his books to his face, had no right to go behind his back and pen a criticism so scathing as that which appeared in the Argus: for Streeter knew that Alfred Davison had written the criticism in the Argus, and Davison had posed as his friend; and had pretended as well, that he had a great admiration for Streeter's books.
Jack shook his head. "Well, then, I'm goin' to," declared the other, with gleeful emphasis. "An', say, I don't believe even YOU can explain this I don't! Well, you know Streeter ev'ry one does, so I ain't sayin' nothin' sland'rous. He was cut on a bias, an' that bias runs ter money every time.
