“And what’s the ‘chinning’ to be about?” she questioned, sitting on the bedside; “the fortune?” “No, I didn’t forget; the water was low, and I left it running on purpose. But it’s that west wind; she’s a hummer. She can pump faster ’n the old waste pipe can discharge.” “Yet he has more mind than Flash.”.

“Not at all. I think you have done a lot for yourself and it must have been awfully exciting while you were about it. I’ve never had anything more exciting in my life than just going to school.

We’ll have you for Fair Ellen.” Before they turned into Main Street, however, the procession was in fair alignment, and the solemnity of the moment hushed all chatter.
