It is being done scientifically, seeing that this first mess is so modest. But we need to know about how many messes we're expected to give down." Inside of a fortnight there were two more milkings. At about that time Tasper Britt started proceedings to foreclose a couple of mortgages.
He took down his coat and hat and when he left the room they heard him go into Tasper Britt's office across the corridor. The stricken lovers faced each other, appalled, mystified, questioning with the looks they exchanged. "Frank," the girl wailed, "you know I haven't " "I know you have been faithful and careful, in every stroke of your pen, dear. Whatever it is, it's not your fault."
Vaniman had even been down on his knees, by Usial's invitation, and had peered up at the under surface of the imposing stone. When Tasper Britt wanted a burial lot in the Egypt cemetery of a size sufficient to set off his statue in good shape, he secured a hillock in which some of the patriarchs of the pioneers had been interred. There was no known descendants to say him nay.
"One just has to feel hopeful in the spring, Frank," she insisted, brushing the blossoms gently against his cheek. From the slope they could look down into the length of Egypt's main street. "Why, there goes Tasper Britt toward his office and he actually waved his hand to a man honest! The spring does soften folks.
"Billy, who else is there with the Governor?" she questioned, anxiously, harrowed by that memory of her father's tone when he shouted the word "lunatic!" "No know! No can tell!" returned Tasper. "But why all the excitement? There's a crowd outside the State House, but all my reports say that it's still orderly. It's only the old 'state steal' stuff warmed over by the sore-heads.
I was expecting quite a general stir, myself. But I'll confess that the thing hit me as livelier than what I had looked for when I was sitting here and heard a man holler outside that your ghost had chased Tasper Britt into his office. You see, the plan was not to have Tasper disturbed by any human beings this night. We all hoped he would sleep sound.
He's taking a little more time as a wrecker in his line but he's making a thorough job of it!" When Tasper mentioned "job" he suggested a natural question to Miss Corson. "Where is he right now?" This time the stare that the city editor gave the girl was distinctly peculiar.
"She is in love with him," complained the suitor; his anger was succeeded by woe; his face "squizzled" as if he were about to weep a second time that day. "Piffle! She's a queer girl if she didn't have the usual run of childish ailments, along with the whooping cough and the measles. I have always known how to manage my womenfolks, Tasper.
She borrowed some figures of speech suggested by the work she was doing in the bank and declared that her loyalty was not insolvent and that she would not make any composition with her conscience. In her zeal to be of service, one day she even volunteered to interview Tasper Britt on the subject of what had happened to the Egypt Trust Company.
In this fashion, with the rout and rabble behind and Vaniman close on his heels, Tasper Britt arrived at Britt Block and even the statue in its niche seemed to goggle with amazed stare. Britt did not stop to lift the loop of the leather thong over his head; with a fierce tug he broke the cord. He unlocked the door and rushed in. After Vaniman followed, the men outside hesitated only momentarily.
