Joe helped Emilie and the Miss Parkers very efficiently as he lay "useless," he said, but they thought otherwise, and gave him many little jobs of pasting, gumming, etc. It was a beautiful tree, I assure you; but Joe had a great deal of mysterious talk with Emilie, apart from the rest, which, however, we must not divulge until Christmas eve.
Two days later he was back on the ranch, and the Parkers noticed that his exuberant spirits had not in the least subsided. "I'd give a ripe peach to know what that fellow is up to," John Parker complained. "Confidentially, I've had him shadowed from the moment he arrived in Los Angeles until the moment he returned to El Toro and started back for the ranch.
And there was a great resting time for an hour no luau, for the luau awaited them at the Parkers' but beer and stronger drinks for the men, and lemonade, and oranges, and refreshing watermelon for the women.
"Damn my soul eef I don't know sometheeng!" Pablo muttered, and followed for a saddle for the gray gelding. When the Parkers emerged from the hacienda, they found Don Mike and Pablo holding the horses and waiting for them.

Crosse and aunt Agnes got on so wonderfully well together, and as she had often been invited, the only thing now was to get her in the mind to go. This was effected in due time, and Mr. Crosse came up to the lodgings for her and her little box, in his horse and gig, on the very evening that Emilie was to go the Parkers', to be installed as housekeeper and governess in the lady's absence.
"I believe he leaves it so that you can see. I'll do it. No, I won't make it too tight." "Don't you think, Jessie," Edwin asked, "that I could protect you, in case of danger, as well as the Parkers?" "I don't know. Perhaps if you were like yourself, but you're not like yourself." "He's as dull as ditch-water," said John.
He returned to Dovercourt on that day, and he and his wife dined with the Parkers. No woman of her age had known better what were the manners of ladies and gentlemen than Emily Wharton.
