McDougal has told you what these feel, and thanked you for all the them, and I am here as a member of Yorkburg's council to thank you again for what you have done for the town in stirring of us up. Everything you jolted us about is coming on well, and the public baths at Milltown, the gift of your unknown friend, will make for godliness next summer, if they don't do much in cold weather.
She'd just laugh and say Yorkburg's friend had asked her to do it. Yorkburg's friend never sent me anywhere. Everybody knows John Maxwell is Mary Cary's friend." "So is Miss Gibbie Gault." Mrs. Tate, who was making tatting on her fingers with Mrs. Burnham's cotton, looked up.
"No, I know little of Yorkburg's personal history." "Well, he was. She never was a raging beauty, but she had more men in love with her than any girl she ever knew, mother used to say, and more sense than all the rest put together. That's what I think was so funny. Men don't care for sense in a woman.
She has understood all the time who was putting up the money, but she had sense enough to keep her understanding to herself. I told her she could let it out. She flew home for eggs, and there'll be few of her customers who won't have a visit from her to-day. You won't have to tell the name of Yorkburg's friend." For a moment there was silence.
To-night you are going to do what has never been done here before, and who is going to imagine you love old-fashioned ways and things? A woman has never crossed the threshold of Yorkburg's Council Chamber " "A good many are going to cross it to-night." Miss Gibbie, who had started to the door, turned. "You mean a good many have promised. A very different thing.
Slowly the hot color died out of her face and her lips quivered. "No," she said, presently. "No. I can't say anything. When we feel much we can say little, and I couldn't tell you how you have have humbled me; but I do thank you for your kind, kind words. It is not I you should thank, however. I have done so little. I could have done nothing had it not been for Yorkburg's friend.
She choked in her effort to speak, and her eyes flashed fire. "I don't believe it!" The moment between her bearing and speaking was tense. "He said " her breath came unevenly "he said /he/ was Yorkburg's friend? /He/ had given money I had spent! He And I alone in the world!"
"Yorkburg's fiscal year ending in June in the next few weeks, the annual budget for the coming twelve months will be fixed by you. Before this budget is made up I am going to ask you to act upon three propositions. Last year the total revenue of the town was $16,907.23, and your expenditures something under one thousand dollars less than your income.
"'There are eighteen guests already, she said, 'and nearly all have rooms to themselves. They tell me it's the fashion now for husbands and wives not to see each other until breakfast, and not then if the wife wants hers in bed. And the way she lifted her chin and eyebrows would be dangerous for you to try. "'I tell you it's a reflection on Yorkburg's mode of life, she went on.
