Their disapproval of the old man's etcrt to hurry Providence could not have been better shown than in the failure of them all to comment on the rascally conduct or the Atlanta lawyer. They even chuckled over that part of the incident.

I don’t want to hear him rail out like he always does when he catches me at it.” Mrs. Barclay stared up at her daugh- ter for an instant. and then her face broke into a broad smile of genuine amusement. She lowered her head to her knee and laughed out. ”‘Ihiother, tell me one thing,” she said. “Did you ever let either of those boy- â€"the two that you didn’t. marry.
