Hed keep the door of his room open, so hecould listen.
I go out there for
week-ends, and Avisis a grand woman, but she is rather sot in her ways. He
wants whathe wants, and he doesnt care much how many lives he may twist
ingetting it. Well, Im sure were glad to hear that, she said coolly.
Sheshook
hands with Bradd as though they were rival undertakers.
Thatd be black
treachery, and Bradd couldnt ever be treacherous. Cass had not known that Bradd
WAS to make plans for them.
However he might long forher imaginatively, in her
presence he became powerless. Youre in court all day; youdont get around like I
do!
Suppose you could entertain Jinny, Bradd, or are youbusy? I dont like
guests, nomatter who they are, that come in and make over my house! He
explained that he was thinking of practising law here. Most of the time, he was
at ease as husbandand judge. Their Christmas was as hearty as though no war
existed.
That evening, by the arrangement of Bradd and in Bradds phrase,they
painted the town red. Just saythe word and Ill phone my office. But the twisted
mood did come, oftener and oftener.
I think its a perfectly good way, but
perhaps itisnt for some people.
I dont have to hold court on horseback, andyou
can come out of the sod hut.
Only his mechanical judicial mind heard the
lawyers. Why dont you two skip off together, and Ill meetyou and Avis for
dinner? But if we three decentpeople cant get along in honesty, then theres no
hope for anybodyanywhere.
Youlike walking home through the snow too much. God
Almighty, you boys getting so noble on me about friendship! Isis was again set
on the windowsill, to see NewYork. But the twisted mood did come, oftener and
oftener.
Im trying tobe firm and convince you that Im not going to tolerate
thisphilandering.
He explained that he was thinking of practising law here.
Cass was so inept at the higher lying that he could only get backto the
injunction. But the point is that youve gone and taken meaway from him again,
as you do with all my beaux. Isnt it kind of late for you to be making up,
young lady? Shes got every right to heropinions, but dont let her take you away
from us, Cass. Have learned that Boeuf de Dijon en Casserolemeans Irish Stew,
and how to answer the waiters, etc.
I just want you to stop all their sweetie
stuff before itgoes too far. Have learned that Boeuf de Dijon en Casserolemeans
Irish Stew, and how to answer the waiters, etc.
Osprey isno Rufus Choate, but
theres nothing funny about the poor devilsadoration of his wife.
