Now you do as I tell you, and you can clean up a big lot inside of the next two months. If you do as I tell you, mind, no matter what you hear, and if you don't talk." Mrs. Wybert meditated. "Mr. Bines, I'm it's natural that I'm a little uneasy. Why should you want to see me do well, after our little affair? Now, out with it! What are you trying to do with me? What do you expect me to do for you?
Wybert because he knew she was aware of those ridiculous tales of his mother's illiteracy. But Avice is er my dear, she is like her mother in more ways than one. Assuredly she doesn't take it from me." He became interested in the kidneys. "If Marie had been a man," he remarked, feelingly, "I often suspect that her fame as a chef would have been second to none.
"Dollars are worth more apiece in New York than any town I've ever been in." "Mrs. Wybert, I can put you right square into a good thing, and I'm going to do it. Heard anything about Consolidated Copper?" "I've heard something big was doing in it; but nobody seems to know for certain. My broker is afraid of it." "Very well.
My part is dear old Virginia, where my father, General Tulver, and his father and his father's father all lived the lives of country gentlemen, after the family came here from Devonshire. It was there Colonel Wybert wooed me, though we later removed to New Orleans." Mrs. Wybert called it "New Aw-leens."
"Of course I'm sure; she's the widow of a Southern gentleman, Colonel Brench Wybert, from New Orleans." "Yes, the same woman. There is no doubt that you have been imposed upon. The thing to do is to drop her quick she isn't right." "In what way has my family been imposed upon, Mr. Bines?" asked the elder Milbrey, somewhat perturbed; "Mrs. Wybert is a lady of family and large means "
Wybert, you'll have to say it out and you'll have to be responsible to me, sir." "Take my word that you've been imposed upon; she's not not the kind of person you would care to know, to be thrown " "I and my family have found her quite acceptable, Mr. Bines," interposed the father, stiffly.
I'll put you in the way of it, and you can cut out my granddaughter." "I must think about it. Suppose I plunge in copper, and your tip isn't straight. I've seen hard times, Mr. Bines, in my life. I haven't always wore sealskin and diamonds." "Mrs. Wybert, you was in Montana long enough to know how I stand there?" "I know you're A1, and your word's as good as another man's money.

"I'll see if Mrs. Wybert is in," said the clerk, handing him a blank card; "your name, please!" The old man wrote, "Mr. Peter Bines of Montana City would like a few minutes' talk with Mrs. Wybert."
I'll send my cloak back, and you take your own time. There now, do be right comfortable!" The old man settled himself and bestowed upon his hostess a long look of approval. "The reports never done you justice, Mrs. Wybert, and they was very glowin' reports, too." "You're very kind, Mr. Bines, awfully good of you!" "I'm goin' to be more, Mrs. Wybert.
She seated herself before a green and heliotrope background that instantly took warmth from her colour. Uncle Peter still hesitated. "You see, I wanted kind of a long chat with you, Mrs. Wybert a friendly chat if you didn't mind, and I'd feel a mite nervous if you're bundled up that way." "I shall be delighted, Mr. Bines, to have a long, friendly chat.
