Andy made one grab for him, prostrate on the planks now, missed, rolled along, and dropped squarely over the inner edge of the walk five feet down into the vacant lot below. "She didn't see me," he panted "I'm sure she didn't. Too bad, though! I had that fellow, Tapp, tight. Why should I lose him, even now?" Andy ran under the sidewalk for about ten feet.
He is advertised far and wide as 'I. Tapp, the Salt Water Taffy King. Fancy! I presume you are quite right; they probably were nothing more than clam diggers originally. The wife and daughters are extremely raw; no other word expresses it. And that house! Have you seen it close to? There was never anything quite so awful built outside an architect's nightmare." "They own Tapp Point?
Louise, whose gaze was fixed upon the approaching sloop, smiled. She was thinking; "All but Lawford Tapp, the philosophic fisherman!" "I believe," Bane said, with flattery, "that I should delight to play opposite to you, Miss Grayling, rank amateur though you would be. This Anscomb really is a wonderful director and gets surprising results from material that cannot compare with you.
And his father's so cross and unhappy that I have to cry for him, too." Which seemed to prove that Mrs. Tapp was being kept in a moist state most of the time. "But I know I. Tapp is sorry for what he's done. Only there's no use expectin' him to admit it, or that he'll change. If Fordy won't marry Dot Johnson I. Tapp will never forgive him. I don't know what I shall say to her when she does come."
That quite impossible 'I. Tapp, as he advertises himself, owns all the Point and might easily make it very disagreeable for the rest of the colony if he so chose." She stopped because of the expression on her niece's countenance. "What do you mean?" Louise asked. "Who who are these Tapps?" "My dear child! Didn't you know? Was I blaming you for a fault of which you were not intentionally guilty?
Tapp," she assured her. "Really, I think your husband is awfully amusing." Naturally disapproval was plainly enthroned upon Aunt Euphemia's countenance when she saw her niece aiding in the entertainment of the guests at the Tapp lawn fete. The Lady from Poughkeepsie had come with the Perritons because, as she admitted, the candy manufacturer's family must be placated to a degree.
Instantly Andy's mind ran back to the encounter with Jim Tapp on the streets of Tipton the evening previous. This made the second time, then, within twenty-four hours that an allusion had been made to the fact that he was "an heir." Andy knew of no reason why a sudden mystery should come into his life.
All the girls were proud of their brother because, as Cecile said, he was proving himself to be "such a perfectly good sport after all." And perhaps I. Tapp himself admired his son for the pluck he was showing. They corresponded after that Louise and Lawford.
It was then but a step to incorporating a company and establishing huge candy factories. I. Tapp went on by leaps and bounds. While yet a comparatively young man he found himself a multi-millionaire. Even a rather expensive family could not spend his income fast enough. He built the ornate villa at The Beaches and, like Lawford, preferred to live there rather than elsewhere.
"I am afraid Uncle Abram is getting all he wants of adventure now," Louise said doubtfully. Cap'n Amazon stared at her unwinkingly for a minute. Then all he said was: "I wonder?" Lawford Tapp did not appear at the store and Louise continued to wonder about it; but she shrank from asking Betty Gallup, who might have been able to inform her why the young man did not come again.
