20/84 (Aunt Hattie says the violinist's automobile is a hired one.) And Mr.Easterbrook's flowers that he sends to Mother are handsomer, too, and lots more of them, than the violinist's. Aunt Hattie has noticed that, too. In fact, I guess there isn't anything about Mr.Easterbrook that she doesn't notice. I heard her talking to Mother one day. She said that any one that would look twice at a lazy, shiftless fiddler with probably not a dollar laid by for a rainy day, when all the while there was just waiting to be picked an estimable gentleman of independent fortune and stable position like Mr.Easterbrook--well, she had her opinion of her; that's all. |
