It scarcely seems worth the trouble, does it? She
was too shrewd and wise a business womanto let me have more to throw after
it.
There must beconsiderable Judson in you, after all,
even if there is preciouslittle banker. She had a streak of stubbornness inher
make-up. It is going to rain to-morrow, at least the milkmantold me so when he came
this morning. She said, for her, some pretty decent things aboutyou before she left
us to come out here.
She laughed and choked and wept together. Then
thehand holding it fell to his knee and he sat, staring over the bay. His reply was,
for him, prompt and emphatic. With Professor Knight somewhere, shesaid. He was very
glad he had not neglected their correspondence.
Just as soon as I get another check from Moore. You
can pay all the people inWellmouth, all whom you owe, every one of them, in full.

He will besurprised, of course, but, after the
first surprise is over, hewill be delighted. Phillips had, apparently,dictated it to
his secretary. It is right, absolutely right that you should have youraunts
money.
And I havent told her of your aunts leaving you
themoney, Carey, she added. It lay limply in hers asif he were quite unaware of her
touch.
He did not venture to disregardinstructions in
regard to the personals, however. Ever since hewas a baby his Aunt Susan had had an
influence upon his life.
Your Aunt Susan had decided opinionsconcerning that
woman, and I have heard her express them. That,however, is of course for you to
decide. They did so and Carey stolesufficient time from the office to meet them at
the station. She always reminded me of father, in so many ways; I haveheard you say
the same thing.
OldSewaucus, apparently, had been sufficiently
civilized to appreciatea view. For the first time she noticed the contents of the
pocket.
Then he sprang out of bed and paced upand down the
room, trying to grasp it all, to comprehend.
