A man I knew years ago, a cousin of mine, and a decent, hard-working, plain man. Now, Zaly has not had a single letter from him since she has been here." "Why? Where is he?" "I don't know. She won't tell. I've written to him twice, but I've had no reply. I'm telling you all I know." "Thank you for being so straightforward. Do you do you think there's anything dishonourable " "That he's in jail?
"It's nobody's business if I answer a telephone call. I don't ask you who it is, every time you telephone!" "All right, Zaly, forgive me, I was a bit inquisitive." And so the matter was dropped, but that night after Azalea had gone to her room, Patty came tapping at the door. It was only after repeated knocking that Azalea opened the door a little way, and quite evidently resented the intrusion.
Farnsworth," said Winnie, appearing suddenly. "So I expect Miss Thorpe took baby in that." "Yes, probably," said Patty, despairingly. "Oh, Elise, this suspense is driving me crazy! If I knew that Zaly had her, and if I knew nothing had happened, I'd feel so relieved. But suppose she did break Fleurette's little arm or leg " "Or back!" put in Elise; "you must not let her pitch the baby around!
"Are you standing up for Azalea?" "That's just what I'm doing! I'm glad you've got it through your head at last. And I ask this of you, old friend. Whatever you do or say to Azalea, think it well over beforehand. If you talk to Patty, as she is feeling now you'll both be ready to tar and feather poor Zaly; and, truly, she doesn't deserve it! Please, Bill, go slow, and be just.
This doesn't get put in with my bunch of wares! Mr. Greatorex may come this afternoon. He's an expert on these things. He'll know just what it's worth." "Oh, Elise," Azalea looked troubled, "don't take it so seriously. It's just an old thing. You've others here that are far handsomer." "As I told you, Zaly, it's the age that counts, not the beauty. Run along to your own booth.
"Now, Azalea, flowers on the table aren't especially grand. I think I should have them, if I could, if I were eating in the middle of the Desert of Sahara." "I believe you would," said Bill, smiling at her; "Patty is a flower-worshipper, Zaly. Zaly's the name your mother called you when you were a tiny mite. Tell me about your father? Was he willing to be left alone?" "Oh, he didn't mind.
"And if you want such things," Azalea went on, losing her diffidence, "I can get a lot of Indian things from home, baskets, you know, and leather, and beaded things." "Fine, Zaly!" and Elise smiled at her. "We do want those, real ones, they always sell."
"Oh, Zaly, I can't call you anything else! what a story you have told us!" "And now, let's proceed to forget it," said Farnsworth, in his big, genial way. "You and I'll talk it over a little when we're alone, but just now, I adopt you as my cousin, I'm proud to have an Adams in my family, even if only by adoption! Your escapade was a wild one, er Alice, but it was an escapade, not a crime.
At last she returned to the group, and Patty said, pleasantly, "Who's your friend, Zaly?" "Nobody in particular," and Azalea looked as if that were a question she had been dreading. "You mean not a particular friend; but who was it?" Patty was persistent, even at risk of rousing Azalea's wrath, for she felt she must know. "I won't tell you!" Azalea cried, stormily.
His big, cheery voice comforted Patty, and her trouble suddenly seemed easier to bear, with his help near. "Oh, Little Billee," she cried, "Azalea has run off with Fleurette." "Good gracious, you don't say! But how much better to have Zaly do the kidnapping than some professional abductors! Hello, Elise, glad to see you! When did you arrive? This morning?" "No; this afternoon.
