“Anyhow, Mar, that fust punkin pie Par got was a howlin’ success.” Mrs. Wopp obligingly gave as an encore, “There were ninety and nine,” apropos of nothing whatever. Then turning to a portrait on the wall, she enlarged on the musical ability of a great-uncle from whom she reckoned she had received her gift of song. His mood grew more thoughtful. He put the dishes away quietly, and neither spoke again till the work was finished.
