Wisner kept us a long time, giving me letters to his partner; trying to find out how much money I would have when I got to Southport; warning me not to leave that neighborhood even if I found it hard to find the Rucker family; and assuring me that if it weren't for the fact that he had several families along the canal ready to move in a week or two, he would go back with me and place himself at my service.
Then, when Old Man Wisner come out we could take his picture and show him how he looks when he has got a grouch. Or we could take a picture of the old lady getting in her car or getting out. Neither one of 'em has got much girlish figure now. "Why, there's loads of pictures that we could take.
By that time everybody was on their feet. The hired man starts for us, but I stopped him. "Not yet," says I. "I'm working for the old boss till midnight tonight. You stay where you are." When I said that Old Man Wisner and Old Lady Wisner they just froze right where they was. But Bonnie Bell didn't. She turns to me now and I felt her hand on my arm. "What do you mean, you men?
And I remembered the talk I'd heard between him and Old Lady Wisner too. Anyways, there he was setting, big as life; and if they was having any trouble over anything you couldn't see it. No one was shedding no tears and there didn't seem to be no war going on. I felt like I was up in the air. I felt like I'd been dreaming about something and hadn't woke up.
"And Old Man Wisner was one of the silent partners and one of the biggest owners in that syndicate colonization and irrigation. There ain't anything that he won't go against that there's money in, and he mostly wins," says he. "Well, what do you know about that!" says I. "Us moving in here and living right next door to him that's the funniest thing I ever did hear.
The mission clock kept patiently at it until its suggestion struck in. "Of course!" he cried. "Mr. Lake, the missionary, will marry us. And we'll have Stark and Wisner for witnesses. How long does it take a bride to get ready? Would half an hour be enough?" "It's rather a short engagement," she remarked demurely. "But if it's all the time we've got " "It is.
Our ward is in two parts, and a little wears silk socks and a good deal of it don't. Wisner, he's strong with them that does. He maybe ain't so strong with them that makes eight dollars a week. Maybe none of them works for Wisner, but plenty of other people that works for eight dollars a week does work for him."
And tell Johnson, the precinct captain, when he comes about eight o'clock, to come on in with his friends, the whole gang the door is open and there's no strings on it, and no strings on the new alderman." Old Man Wisner must have been enjoying his life that evening while we was celebrating our being alderman.
"Why shouldn't he be here?" says Old Man Wisner right then, speaking for the first time. "He's my son!" "What's that?" says Old Man Wright. "Your son!" "Shore!" says he. "Who'd you think he was? He can eat at my table. He's done well; he's married the best girl I ever seen!" says he. Then he gets so he can't talk worth a cent too. Shucks! I wisht I was most any place else. His son!
Bonnie Bell already killed two of their dogs with her new electric brougham. You see, she had to go out and try it for herself, for she says she can ride anything that has hair on it, even if it's only curled hair in the cushions. First thing you know, the Wisner dog pug nose it was, with its tail curled tight it goes out on the road, acting like it owned the whole street, same as its folks does.
