"I don't see," stormed I. Tapp, "why you can't take up with a nice girl and marry. Why, at your age I was married and we had Marian!" "Don't you think that should discourage me, dad?" Lawford put in. "Marian is nobody to brag of, I should say." "Hah!" ejaculated his father. "She's a fool, too. But there are nice girls. I was talking to your mother about your case last night.
Considering the nature of the feeling she had for him, into the knowledge of which his peril had surprised her, the girl could not endure any intimate conversation with Lawford. Not just then, at least. Tapp was in the midst of a group of girls, and she remarked his ease of manner. She did not wonder at it, for he was a gentleman by instinct no matter what his social level might be.
"Oh, well, of course it was some absurd guess of Luke's. It's funny, though. That fellow, Jim Tapp, had the same delusion. By the way, Aunt Lavinia seems to have been in earnest. Nobody appears to be looking for me to go back to Fairview. I am free to do as I choose. Now, then, to make a record." Sunday was passed at Tipton.
At first sight Lawford Tapp had told himself she was the most charming woman he had ever seen. For a college graduate of twenty-four he was, though unaware of the fact, rather unsophisticated regarding women. He had given but slight attention to girls. Perhaps they interested him so little because of his three sisters.
Besides, from your own name, you should be a descendant of Miles Standish, and blood relation to these Cape Codders yourself. And Uncle Amazon and Uncle Abram are fine old gentlemen." She said it boldly, whether she could believe it about Cap'n Amazon or not. "I will not play showman." "Oh, say! Ford Tapp comes here. I saw his car standing outside the other evening." "Mr.
"The kid must have it." "Inside the wagon?" "Yes." "Whoa." With a sharp jerk the horse was pulled to a halt. Andy heard the two men on the seat jump to the ground. He knew that their motive was robbery. He knew further that this was another plot of bad Jim Tapp, the friend and associate of criminals.
He also saw Jim Tapp, apparently following her. He did not dare to go in the same direction. Andy dodged down the alley and came out on the next street. He looked vainly for the two persons in whom he was interested. He failed to locate them, and then proceeded in the direction of the circus grounds. He was very thoughtful, and in a measure worried and uneasy.
That, of course, was some time before I. Tapp, the Salt Water Taffy King, had come into his kingdom and assumed the robe and scepter of his present financial position. "Oh!" ejaculated Cecile. "That's Judson Bane, the Broadway star, she's walking with. I'd like to know him myself." "You coarse little thing!" drawled Marian. "And you not out yet!" Prue, the second sister, observed cuttingly.
Her gaze almost immediately fastened upon the figure of the bewhiskered old man, with spectacles and sou'wester both pushed back on his bald crown, who mildly looked upon her his smile somehow impressing Louise Grayling as almost childish, it was so kindly. Cap'n Joab had dodged through the door after Lawford Tapp. The other boys from The Beaches followed their leader.
It being the single moving object on the scene, save the gulls, she began to watch it. There was but one person in the motor boat. He was hatless and was dressed in soiled flannels. It was the young man, Lawford Tapp, of whom Cap'n Abe did not altogether approve. "He must work for those people over there," Louise Grayling thought. "He is nice looking."
