"But it ain't likely," said the man, who now pushed his hat far back on his head, in the interest of self-possession, "that it's gone wrong. With all these wash-outs and devilments, the last fo't-night, it might a' been travellin' straight and not got the'a, yet. What d'you say was the address?" "Lower Merritt," said Gaites, beginning to feel a little uncomfortable. "Name?" persisted the man.
"Man's a kind of univussal genius, but he's got a nice family of children; smaht as traps, all of 'em." "How about that oldest gul?" asked Mr. Lander. "Well, the'a," said the landlord, taking the cigar out of his mouth. "I think she's about the nicest little thing goin'. We've had her up he'e, to help out in a busy time, last summer, and she's got moo sense than guls twice as old.
But he was able to report that she looked as well as any of the folks in it, and that, if there were any better dressed, he did not see them. He owned that she cried some, when he said good-bye to her. "I guess," said his wife, grimly, "we're a passel o' fools to let her go. Even if she don't like, the'a, with that crazy-head, she won't be the same Clem when she comes back."
Lander went on, "that I should go into the Vonndome, for December and January, but just as likely as not he'd come pesterin' the'a, too, and I wouldn't go, now, if you was to give me the whole city of Boston. Why shouldn't we go to Florid?" When Mrs. Lander had once imagined the move, the nomadic impulse mounted irresistably in her.
"Said she done dress-makin'," said Lander, doggedly. "You ha'n't been the'a?" He nodded. "You didn't say anything to her about her daughta?" "Yes, I did," said Lander. "Well, you ce'tainly do equal anything," said his wife. She lay still awhile, and then she roused herself with indignant energy.
"I don't say I have," retorted Mrs. Claxon. "But I don't like to be made a fool of. I presume," she added, remotely, but not so irrelevantly, "Clem could ha' got 'most anybody, ova the'a." "Well," said Claxon, taking refuge in the joke, "I shouldn't want her to marry a crowned head, myself."
As soon as he opened the door she said, "I do wish you would take some of that heat-tonic of mine, Albe't, that the docta left for me in Boston. You'll find it in the upper right bureau box, the'a; and I know it'll be the very thing for you. It'll relieve you of that suffocatin' feeling that I always have, comin' up stars.
But what I will say is that if any young lady within the sound of my voice," he looked round for the applause which did not fail him in his parody of the pulpit style "should get an invitation to a dance next winta, and should feel it a wo'k of a charity to the young man to go, she'll be sorry on his account, rememba that she ha'n't got this pair o' slippas. "The'a!
"The'e's plenty of places where you can be safe from the fella besides home, though I'll take you back the'a this minute if you say so. But you needn't to feel wo'ked up about it." "Oh, I'm not," said Clementina, but with a gulp which betrayed her nervousness. "I did think," Mrs.
"Well," said Clementina, "he isn't in China. His health gave out, and he had to come home. He's in Middlemount Centa." Miss Milray suppressed the "Oh!" that all but broke from her lips. "Preaching to the heathen, there?" she temporized. "To the summa folks," Clementina explained, innocent of satire. "They have got a Union Chapel the'a, now, and Mr. Gregory has been preaching all summa."
