Hosier to my closet, to discourse of the business of balancing Storekeeper's accounts, which he hath taken great pains in reducing to a method, to my great satisfaction; and I shall be glad both for the King's sake and his, that the thing may be put in practice, and will do my part to promote it.
If anybody know'd anybody that wanted to take three to two, send him along." A few men called to bet, and bets were exchanged all over the camp, but most of the excitement centred about the storekeeper's.
Then Bunny and Sue told her, and she laughed harder than ever. Bunny and Sue smiled, for now they knew Mrs. Gordon did not mind about the broken eggs. "Well, I'm glad you found the nest, anyhow, if you did break the eggs," said the storekeeper's wife. "Maybe now my hen will not go over into your barn, but will make her nest in our coop, where she ought to make it.
"Your pop is right good to you, ain't he?" "You bet! And he can lick any ole bunch of cow-chasers in this country. Somebody's goin' to git hurt if they monkey with him!"

Janice parted from the young engineer and walked up Hillside Avenue, intending to take supper at home and afterward return to the Drugg place to spend another night or two with the storekeeper's lonely wife.

Occasionally customers came in; but between whiles Janice and the storekeeper's wife could talk. The racking "clump, clump, clump," of a big-footed farm horse sounded without and a woman's nasal voice called a sharp: "Whoa!
