He repeated, at Sylvia's instigation, the incident of the hearse horses at Poughkeepsie, with new flourishes, and cheerfully proposed a cousinship to all of them.

Tapp," she assured her. "Really, I think your husband is awfully amusing." Naturally disapproval was plainly enthroned upon Aunt Euphemia's countenance when she saw her niece aiding in the entertainment of the guests at the Tapp lawn fete. The Lady from Poughkeepsie had come with the Perritons because, as she admitted, the candy manufacturer's family must be placated to a degree.
From the time when Spike gave his first order, to that when all his canvas was spread, was just seven minutes. The Poughkeepsie, with her vastly superior crew, was not idle the while.
