After lunch, the fog changed its intentions, lifted, disappeared and let the sun have full sway. To be sure, some smoke still lingered, but out where the Strongs were staying it only mellowed the distances. That afternoon it occured to Chester that the relationship now existing between him and Lucy called for a further understanding with the father.
Strong is a baby beside him when you consider the difference in their means." "I wish Strong was on our side, just the same." "Why? The Strongs find the flint on which the Geisners strike the steel. Do you think for a single moment that the average rich man has courage enough or brains enough to drive the people to despair as this Strong will do?" "Yes, monopoly will either kill or cure."
I know a thing or two. What do you suppose the Strongs would pay for them?" "You don't mean to say you would play me false?" ejaculated the merchant, hoarsely. "I mean to say I'd do anything to save myself if you got us into a hole. As far as I can see, you have allowed this boy to get the best of you at every turn." "Humph! You needn't talk.
Tom blushed and laughed, Aunt Hepsy looked so intensely comical. Then she became very red in the face, and opening her hymn-book, kept her eyes on its pages till Mr. Goldthwaite came in. His eyes travelled straight to the Strongs' pew, and Lucy thought she saw a kindly gleam of recognition in his eyes. Carrie was at the harmonium.
"Ah! monsieur, nevare! nevare it vill do. Ah! ver doll. It is like von assemblee of le Quaker." "I am determined to endure it no longer." "But what can monsieur do? How, capitaine?" "By leaving this accursed place, and that to-morrow." "But is monsieur fort? strongs beau-coup? strongs to ride?" "I will risk it, Gode. If I break down, there are other towns on the river where we can halt.
At that second the last inspiration of the evening caught him. Across the street arose the mighty pile of an enormous uptown hotel. Strong jerked his thumb over his shoulder. "Go'n' break it to m' fam'ly by telegraph' 'em," he stated, and bitterly Rex repented of that thoughtless mention of the Strongs to their son and heir.
He thought over these problems the next morning as he worked in the field. Jake might know something, but he did not care to ask him. He did not wish his employer to have any idea that he was interested in the Strongs. Though he would not acknowledge it to himself, yet his hesitation, in fact, was due to the feeling that in some way the real secret of his heart might be revealed.
Isabelle asked bluntly; "I mean for months." "Stand it? You mean the hours, the Strongs, Grosvenor? ... Why, I feel positively afraid when I think that some day I may be shaken out of this nest! You will see. It is all so simple and easy, so human and natural, just like Mr. Short's day's work, the same thing for thirty years, ever since he married the school teacher and took this house.
"You made me jump a lot," she retorted, throwing her arms about him and giving him a rapturous hug. "Did you really mean that Mrs. Strong wants me next week? That is our spring vacation here in Martindale." "Yes, so the letter said. You see, the Strongs are living in Martindale now, too." "Grandpa! You're fooling!" "Not this time.
She hurried forward to where the lieutenant was standing, her hand outstretched, with a smile of recognition feigned, but well-feigned on her lips. "Why, Lieutenant Kramer," she cried, "how delightful. Have you really kept your promise at last and come to see the Strongs?"
