Beasley hung in the center of the broadest wall space, and was not the ugliest thing in the apartment. Having said this, further description is unnecessary particularly to those who remember Mr. Beasley's personal appearance. "What you so interested in the Thayers for?" inquired Debby. "One of the heirs, be you? They didn't leave nothin'." No, the schoolmistress was not an heir.
Nevertheless, it was a very quiet and timid Smiles who sat beside Donald in his coupé at four that afternoon, as he drove to the richly sombre home on Beacon Street, where had dwelt many generations of Thayers. He, too, although he attempted to be jovial, was strangely uneasy. "You chump!" he said to himself.
"Are these the relatives you were visiting, Miss Redmond?" inquired Lizzie, eaten up with curiosity, which was her mortal weakness. Agatha paused, struck with the form of the maid's question; but, knowing her liking for items of news, she answered cautiously: "Not relatives exactly. The Thayers were old friends of my mother."
A fellow oughtn't to be labelled like one of a class. Might as well catalogue children, and done with it, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and so on through the list of Thayers. Then, when he came to years of discretion, he could pick for himself. Do you suppose I would have been Bobby, if I had been consulted?" "What then?" Beatrix asked, pausing in her talk with Lorimer.
