Then the dim figure in long clothes came slowly out and returned up the road toward the old Squire's. "Who was it?" Addison said to me. "Miss Emmons," I replied. "Yes," Addison assented reluctantly. We went into the schoolhouse, struck matches, and at last lighted a pine splint.
DICK: Trouble is, if you're queer enough to be amusing, it might open the door to queerness. HARRY: Now don't say things like that to Claire. DICK: I don't have to. HARRY: Then you think she's queer, do you? Queer as you are, you think she's queer. I would like to have Dr Emmons come out. I suppose an intellectual woman and for all Claire's hate of her ancestors, she's got the bug herself.
Cornelia DeBey and Mrs. Emmons Blaine as members of the School Board. The legislative work was encouraging this year, for in both Senate and House the Municipal and Presidential suffrage bill was reported out of committee with favorable recommendations, and in the Senate it reached second reading. The State convention of 1905 was held in Chicago and Mrs. Ella S. Stewart was elected president.
To reach Emmons' Woods, you went out the back door, past the pump and the currant bushes, then down the path to the chicken-houses, and so on, by way of the woodpile, to the south gate.
In relation to the holy actions of men, all the praise is due to God, say they, because they were produced by his power. Why is not the moral turpitude of their evil actions, then, also ascribed to God, inasmuch as he is said to produce them by his irresistible and almighty agency? We are accountable for our evil acts, say Dr. Emmons and Calvin, because they are voluntary.
As the summer passed, Wilma Emmons came to know our affairs at the old farm very well, and of course heard about Jim and his bank book. Jim, in fact, had taken one of his playdays soon after she came; and grandmother asked Wilma to lock the book up in the drawer of her desk at the schoolhouse for a few days.
Becker and Emmons to say that theirs are admirable studies, thorough and exhaustive, of great interest and value to both mining engineers and geologists, and most creditable to the authors and the country. The lack of space must forbid the full discussion of these theories at the present time, but I will briefly enumerate some of the facts which render it difficult for me to accept them.
"Miss Emmons is jealous, perhaps," said George. "Perhaps Mrs. Merrill is really ill." "No, the doctor says she is not, and Miss Emmons is not jealous. She told me that as far as she was concerned, although she would lose her home, she should be glad to see the doctor married, if he chose a suitable woman; but I don't think she likes Mrs. Merrill.
Only once however, did I have a chance to meet one of these modern Visigoths face to face, and the feelings aroused by that incident remained the darling secret of my youth. I dared tell no one, and I longed, yet feared, to have the experience repeated. But it never was! It happened in this way: On a certain Sunday afternoon in May, my father and mother and I went to Emmons' Woods.
Astonished and a little indignant, too, perhaps, Miss Emmons told Jim that a young man of his habits had no right to address himself in such a manner to any young woman. "But I can reform!" Jim said. "Let folks see that you have done so, then," Miss Emmons replied, and added that a young man who could not be trusted with his own bank book could hardly be depended on to make a home.
