Blessed if I see who you inherit it from!" says he, kind of to himself.
Jonadab ain't paid me the quarter yet. He says the bet was that she'd
land a millionaire, and a Van Wedderburn, afore the season ended, and
she did; so he figgers that he won the bet. Him and me got wedding cards
a week ago, so I suppose "Jonesy" and Mabel are on their honeymoon
now. I wonder if she's ever told her husband about what I heard in the
bayberry bushes. Being the gamest sport, for a woman, that ever I see,
I'll gamble she ain't said a word about it.
