A fortnight after my return to the city I forced myself to take a trip to Tannersville. Fanny came to meet me at the train. As we kissed it was borne in upon me that I was irretrievably estranged from her. I tried to play my part, with poor success "Are you worried, Dave? What's the matter with you?" Fanny demanded again and again. Her "What's the matter with you?" jarred on me
"It's all because of Mrs. Kalch's tongue, confound her!" I thought. "To-morrow I shall be in Tannersville and this trifling incident will be forgotten." But at this I became aware that I did not care to go to Tannersville and that the prospect of seeing Fanny had lost its attraction for me.
Instead of trying to say what I had in my mind and to force her to listen, I slunk away, in the rain, like a beaten dog The shock seemed to have a sobering effect on me. I suddenly realized the imbecility of the part I had been playing, even the humor of it. The first thing I did upon reaching the hotel was to ask the clerk about the next train not to Tannersville, but direct to New York.
"What you've done before, Edwards, isn't any criterion with us. You may have been a regular wonder in what's the place? Tannerstown " "Tannersville. I don't say I was a wonder, but " "Just a minute! You may have been a star on your high school team and yet not worth a copper cent to us, Edwards.
