But Megan's little, sad figure began to come back at once, and he got up and leaned in the window, listening to the thrushes in the Crescent gardens, gazing at the sea, dreamy and blue below the trees. A servant came in and cleared the tea away, and he still stood, inhaling the evening air, trying not to think.
She followed it up by imitating the stricken look on the face of Mattie Haynes, cloak-and-suit buyer at Megan's, who, having just returned from the East with what she considered the most fashionable of the new fall styles, now beheld Angie Hatton in the garb that was the last echo of the last cry in Paris modes and no model in Mattie's newly selected stock bore even the remotest resemblance to it.
They're pikers to what some people are that invited me to their houses in New York and Berkeley, and treated me and the other guys like kings or something. Take Megan's store, too" he was warming to his subject, so that he failed to notice the darkening of Tessie's face "it's a joke compared to New York and San Francisco stores. Reg'lar rube joint." Tessie stiffened.
On as far as Megan's, which you entered and inspected, up one brightly lighted aisle and down the next. At the dress-goods counter there was a neat little stack of pamphlets entitled "In the World of Fashion." You took one and sauntered out leisurely. Down Winnebago Street now, homeward bound, talking animatedly and seemingly unconscious of quick footsteps sounding nearer and nearer.
"What tune does he play?" "Dunno." "What's he like?" "'E's black. Old Jim zays 'e's all over 'air. 'E's a praaper bogle. 'E don' come only at naight." The little boy's oblique dark eyes slid round. "D'yu think 'e might want to take me away? Megan's feared of 'e." "Has she seen him?" "No. She's not afeared o' yu." "I should think not. Why should she be?" "She zays a prayer for yu."
And sometimes, with the sensation a cat must feel when it purrs, he would become conscious that Megan's eyes those dew-grey eyes were fixed on him with a sort of lingering soft look which was strangely flattering.
Of course two years later they were showing practically the same thing at Megan's dry-goods store. But that was always the way with Angie Hatton. Even those of us who went to Chicago to shop never quite caught up with her. Delivered of this ironic thrust, Tessie would walk toward the screen door with a little flaunting sway of the hips.
