"I think I hev heard a rumor to that effect," said David, "an' I guess the' 's about as much human nature in some folks as the' is in others, if not more." "And I don't fancy that it makes very much difference to you," said John, "whether the Verjooses or Miss Allis call you 'village people' or not." "Don't cut no figger at all," declared Mr. Harum.
I say 'them' because the Verjooses, an' the Rogerses, an' the Swaynes, an' a lot of 'em, is all more or less related to each other, but Alf's reely the one at the bottom on't, an' after The 'd lost most of his money it was the easiest way to kind o' keep him on his legs."
Harum in some doubt as to the seriousness of the last remark. "Go to the 'Piscopal church, an' have what they call dinner at six o'clock," said David. "Now, there's the The'dore Verjooses," he continued; "the 'rig'nal Verjoos come an' settled here some time in the thirties, I reckon. "He was the father of Mr. Verjoos the other banker here, I suppose?" said John.
"I seen a sight fer sore eyes this mornin'," quoth David presently. "What was that?" asked Aunt Polly, looking up over her glasses. "Claricy Verjoos fer one part on't," said David. "The Verjooses hev come, hev they? Wa'al, that's good. I hope she'll come up an' see me." David nodded.
And so he rambled on upon such topics as suggested themselves to his mind, or in reply to his auditor's comments and questions, which were, indeed, more perfunctory than otherwise. For the Verjooses, the Rogerses, the Swaynes, and the rest, were people whom John not only did not know, but whom he neither expected nor cared to know; and so his present interest in them was extremely small.
