CHAPTER XXVI.
The Left Ventricle The next day Mrs.Bonner and Miss Bonner descended upon Tinkletown.

They were driven over from Boggs City in an automobile, and their advent caused a new thrill of excitement in town.

Half of the women in Tinkletown found excuse to walk past Mr.Crow's home some time during the day, and not a few of them called to pay their respects to Mrs.
Crow, whether they owed them or not, much to that estimable lady's discomfiture.
Wicker's mother was a handsome, aristocratic woman with a pedigree reaching back to Babylon or some other historic starting place.

Her ancestors were Tories at the time of the American Revolution, and she was proud of it.

Her husband's forefathers had shot a few British in those days, it is true, and had successfully chased some of her own ancestors over to Long Island, but that did not matter in these twentieth century days.
