Sam McPherson wandered through Main Street, dreading to meet Valmore and John Telfer. Finding the chairs back of the stove in Wildman's grocery deserted, he hurried past the grocer and hid in a corner. Tears of wrath stood in his eyes. He had been made a fool of.

In one minute," he said, hastily stepping back into the kitchen and whispering a few words to his wife. Gibson did not hear the words, but his heart sank like lead as he noticed Mrs.
"If you must be eloquent talk of ice cream or mint juleps or recite a verse about the old swimming pool." Telfer, wetting his finger, thrust it into the air. "The wind is in the north-west; the beasts roar; we will have a storm," he said, winking at Valmore. Banker Walker came into the store, followed by his daughter.
