Chapter 38 I
Public Eyesore No. One
"I had to hear the story of nod
dy's pilot," Asey told the congress
man, "before I could do anything.
But you don't need to worry about
making the Strutts mad. Just atlck
11 the blame on me, an' In the end,
who knows but what you'll get a
field house an' gym thrown In with
the park? Elliott, I've Just been
thinkln'. I never did get a good look
at the mural. I bust out laughin' so
on my first vlew,.l had to leave be
fore I got to the parte with the local
boys In 'em. You got pull enough to
get me Into the poet office on Bun
day?" "Elliott smiled.
"Have I got pull? Asey, I have a
gold plated key, all my own. If you
want to get Into the post office,
we'll go to my house and get the
key, and have a private view of
Quanomet's Public Eyesore Nun.ber
One."
"Ill trail you over," Asey said.
Elliott's house was a long ramb
ling place with so many ells and ad
ditions that even an architect would
have had trouble picking out the
original Cape Cod half house that
had been the basis of It all,
"My daughter's around some
where," Elliott said. "I think she
knows where the key la Jean I Hey,
Jean where are you? Jeanie, you
know Asey Mayo, don't you? My
daughter, Mrs. Dunn, Jean, Where's
that gold postofflce key, d'you
know?"
"That thing?" Jean wrinkled up
her forehead. "Teddy had It last.
He was playing St. Peter and the
gates of heaven with it didn't you
give it to him?"
"Well, yea, I guess I did," Elliott
said. "But I need it now. Find It
for me, will you?"
"Father, darling, when Ted plays
with things, it's not the easiest
thing In the world to find them on
two seconds' notice. You shouldn't
have given him the key, if you
really wanted It Intact. But I'll see
what I can do. Maybe Dellall know
where it is"
Delia, a slightly distraught look
ing nursemaid, admitted that she
hadn't seen the key since the baby
played with it Saturday morning.
"Maybe he swallowed it," Jean
said, as though that were the sim
plest solution.
"Oh, nol" Delia protested. "I'm
sure he didn't. He hasnt swallowed
anything for a week. Perhaps the
little Westover girl would know
8he was playing with Teddy"
"Come, come," Elliott said, "come,
cornel We've got to find that keyl
Really, Jean, I know I let Ted play
with it, but I see no reason why the
whole damn countryside has to use
It as a plaything!"
"Darling, climb down," Jean said
"I want that keyl You go find It.
Oo shake the children bv their
heels. Stand 'em on their' heads.
Peer Into their tonsils. If you want.
But go find that key!"
"Sometimes," Jean said, "I wish
you were a simple taxpayer. Delia,
come on. We'll see If the Westover
Infant has any thoughts on the
matter. What did they put In that
mole hole, d'you know"
"No respect, that's what." Elliott
said. "They treat me like an elder
ly neighbor, the whole lot of 'em,
and"
"An you love It," Asey said.
"Well, yes, I suppose I do. Come
on In. and we'll wait for 'em to find
the key. It'll turn up. You cant
lose things like that. I've got a col
lection of teeth I've been trying to'
TAYLOR
mislay for years. I've often won
dered, why do people think that
congressmen want teeth? I've got
whale teeth and dog teeth and In
dian teeth. All kinds. But would
that stand me a new upper set? Not
on your tintype."
Mad Hons.
At the end of an hour, Jean wan
dered out to the barn game room.
"Oh, hers you are," she said.
"Look, It's awfully funny. The
Westover child let the little Lake
boy have the key, and he says with
bland finality that someone took It
away from him."
"Come now, Jean!"
That's true, father. I won't go
Into the details of the game they
were playing"
"Who? The Lake boy or the
someone, or what?"
"Don't be so Impatient, dear.
They were playing Jail delivery,
and the Westover child was the
gangster In prison, and the little
Lake boy was the mob that was go
ing to get him out"
"The youth of this country," El
liott began.
"Ssh, dear. It took hours to make
sense out of things, and I want to
tell you while I still have things
straight. The Lake boy went off to
consult with Ted Ted was the
O-man who was foiling things, if
that makes you any happier and
he left the key with his gun, over
by the lilac hedge. And someone
took It. The Lake boy saw him
running off, and yelled, but the
person beat It, and the Lake boy
thinks he went off In a car. Lake
dldnt dare tell anyone at the time.
He Just said he'd mislaid It, and
Ted was so busy with his new cro
quet set that Ray brought him yes
terday afternoon that he forgot all
about the key. So there you are."
"It's a mad house, Asey," Elliott
said sadly. "Other people's houses
run all right. Why can't mine?
Here's a simple little key. Can It
be found? No. It's St. Peter's key
to heaven. It's the prime factor in
a Jail delivery. Babies teethe on
It. And finally, strangers swoop out
of my lllao hedge and anatch It
from the mouths of babes and
sucklings, or words to that effect.
I ask youl What's the matter, Asey?
What did you say?"
"I said," Asey told him, "that I
wish you'd call up the postmaster,
an' tell him to meet us over in
Quanomet as soon as he can."
"What oh, Jonah, you mean?
All right. I'll call him. But you
don't really think anyone took the
key, do you? What ever for? Who'd
have known what key it was?"
Elliott sounded a little anxious.
"Wasn't there a public presenta
tion of keys, on the day the office
opened? ' Asey asked,
"Well, yes. It was a sort of tncl
dent In the opening. You know,
sandwiched in after the soprano
sang, and before the band had Its
fling. They gave out half a dozen
keys, to the governor and a senator
or two, and me "
"An' plenty of people," Asey said,
"saw you beln' presented with It.
"Yes, yes, I suppose they did. But
how would anyone know that the
little Lake child was going to play
Jail delivery with It over by the
lilac hedge the next afternoon?"
Ellott demanded.
"What Are You Waiting Far?"
"They wouldn't," Asey said. "But
If someone was waltin' around,
waltln' for the chance to swipe your
key, I don't see but what they could
swipe It from the Lake child with
the greatest of ease. An' after all.
It'd be easier to swipe from you
than from the goVnor or the rest
when did they take the key, In
the effnoon?"
"The early afternoon some time."
Jean said. "Of course the children
don't know th. exact time. It's
rather a wonder they remember the
day. Look, I've been thinking Is
it ngnt to go strewing postofflce
keys around in any such loose fash
Ion? I thought the Interior of post
offices were like altars, sort of
sacred and all."
"They're Just .keys to the front
part." Elliott aald. "They dont let
you In to anything but the front
part where the mural Is. But look
here, why wouldn't someone steal
Carl Anderson
the keys from Jonah? From the
postmaster? Why should they pick
cn me?"
"I wouldn't know," Asey said
tactfully. But It occurred to him
that It would be far simpler to
swipe a key from this easy going
household than from the Quanomet
postmaster, who took himself and
his Job with great seriousness,
"Oh, this Is all a lot of non
sense!" Elliott said. "I don't believe
anyone took the key. Probably we
can find It If we get out rakes and
scrape around. I don't think any
one wanted to steal the keyl 1
don't believe that they did steal It.
I what are you waiting for, Asey?"
He continued before Asey had a
chance to protest that he was not
delaying the expedition.
"What are you waiting for? Let's
get over and get Into the place and
see If anything has happened. But
of course It hasn't," he added, as
though he wanted to convince him
himself on the point. "Of course
not. The child made up that story.
No one took the key my keyl My
keyl If someone haa got Into that
place with my key hurry up, Asey I
But It's nonsense. They wouldn't
dare break Into the postofflce "
"They wouldn't be breaktn' In,"
Asey pointed out, with a grin
"They've got a key."
