Chapter 34
He Spitfire Surrender
BRENDA caught her breath and
went on as though the need for
speech had become too treat to
be denied. "I know I wu inter
fering, and little idiot besides
to go to Mr. Hopkinal 1 know it
has put you in an embarrassing
position. Eric but I won't blame
Erie, though certainly I was not
told the facta. I blame only my
self. I can't imagine what hat
made me act to. I never did In
New York: or at least if I tried
to help people there in the Vil
lage especially it always turned
out right, and they were not up
let. Sometimes they were even
pleased though t know you rr.uat
find that difficult to believe. Mac.
I'm sorry. That's really all I can
say. isn't It? If I knew anything
else to say "
"There is one thing you can say.
s it happens," he told her sober
ly. "It's why I persuaded Linda
to send for you o you could
say it
She hung her head. "I know
what you mean. You want me to
.knowledge that from the first
I've been a thorn in the side of
The Street both side. I suppose.
Well. I do. Acknowledge it. I
mean."
"No, Brenda. That's not at all
what I want you to say." He
ihoved his hands in his pockets
and looked perturbed. "I'm not
sure I ought to let you say it,
vn if it hanooned to be true. . . .
BrenHa, did you ever wonder whv
I left The Street Adelaide's
house?"
"f knew." she said drearily. "I
didn't have to wonder. You were
afraid you would be the next
victim of my offlcioujness. And
even moving away didn't save
rou. did it? I've said I m sorry
"Tt waa vour money!" The
words shot from him with force.
"Mv money? What money?"
"The Bumhnm fortune. I heard
ibout i' the first day I went to
live on The Street. Everybody
look care to impress on me tne ex
tent nf vnnr vrandfather's wealth
We all heard more times than I
can count how your aunt had a
personal maid; how your grand
father thought nothing of paying
Ave thousand dollars for a saddle
horse; how "
Her eyes widened to their great
est extent.
"That's all true, Mae, but "
"And I on a salary," he inter
rupted bitterly. "Good enough as
salaries go these days, but nothing
to offer the young heiress to the
Bumham millions!"
One tiny dimple made a fleeting
appearance at the corner of her
mouth.
"Not millions, Mae. Not even
sne million. Lots of money, but
not that much."
Too much, at any rate. Why,
that fur coat you wore this winter
would have cost three months' of
mv salary! I'd have a nerve to
think of asking a girl like you to
marry me."
If he had looked up he would
have seen a second dimple come
boldly out into the open: but he
kept his gloomy gaze on the floor.
Words Of One Syllable
"AUNT ANNE gave me the coat
for a Christmas gift Poor
dear, I'm afraid she denied herself
a good many things to pay for it!"
"I suppose so; thinks like an
English butler to replace the par
lormaid." "Parlormaid? You talk like an
English novel, Mac. Aunt Anne
has no parlormaid."
"Of course she hasn't!" he said
m'armlv ind tnrnnsistpntlv. 'She's
had her English butler from the
beginning. Judge Harper said your
grandfather had the only butler
TW C t . , ......
"Yes. Old black Selby. He be.
longed to the Selhys that was
my grandmother's family in
slave times."
He shrugged Ms shoulders.
"There you ore! Old family re
tainers then, tnclish butlers now!'
She took a step toward him. "Is
that all you have against me now,
Mac one lone bnglish Miller?
"And all he stands for."
"Tiiere is no butler," she told
him softly. "I me3n Aunt Anne
has only one servant. Mac. She
cooks and does the general clean
ing. Aunt Anne riifeLs, and gets
dinner herself on Thursday niKht
"An eccentric, eh? Saving it all
up to hand on to you!"
"Of course if you're determined
not to understand!" She took a
lofty tone with him. "I ll try to tell
you in words of one syllable: Aunt
Anne has one maid because I
mean since it's all she can afford
I mean can spend: a badly ar
ranged sentence, Mac, but one
syllable words are hard to find
even to convey very simple facts."
"She s turned it ail over 10 you
already?"
Brenda lost patience. "You're
misunderstanding purposely!"
"Thank you!" he said heatedly.
"I may be dumb but at least I
know better than to ask a child
of luxury to thare an apartment
with me maybe even to cook my
meals unless we could get a part
time maid "
"I being the child of luxury?"
He raised stern eyes to her then.
"This talk amuses you, I have no
doubt."
"I should say it does!" was the
frank reply. "Considering that
Grandfather's money evaporated
long ago, and Aunt Anne lost most
of hers in the stock market crash."
"Brenda!"
Stie stretched a forbidding hand
toward him. "No, Macl I'm not
going to be done out of a real pro
posal." The dimples were a merry
riot now, but she kept her voice
authoritative. "I'm not going to
have you throw it up to me in
later years that my officiousnesa
snared you into " The authori
tative voice ceased. It is difficult
if not impossible to articulate
clearly when one's face is buried
in a tweed shoulder.
Love Scene
TWENTY minutes later Linda
poked a cautious head around
the door. Then she gave a subdued
whoop which brought Hugh run
ning. "And high time, too," he growl
ed, his mouth stretched in a wide
smile. "I need my studio to work
in. If you're through staging this
love scene I'll be obliged if you'll
go somewhere else."
But he was destined to lose the
use of his working room for the
entire morning. The news flew up
and down The Street in a fashion
peculiar to that interested neigh
borhood.
Before the laughing couple
could take themselves off. Judge
Harner appeared, beaming and
shaking hands with Mac kissing
Brenda affectionately.
So we aren t to lose you trom
The Street after all." he said.
That's a great satisfaction to me.
"I I fear we won't be living
here, sir." Mac said. "You see.
Brenda and I will want our own
home -at least I suppose you do.
Brenda? I really haven t time to
ask her," he finished with a grin.

The Judge looked surprised. "1
forget I haven't lold you the news!
I must be getting old and forget
ful even though Sarah says 1 m not
old at all. only mature."
Sarah?
"Mrs. Wick." The Judge actual
ly blushed. "She er I er it's
this way: we're tr be married very
soon, and she doesn t want to leave
her own house. . can understand
that A woman grows more at

that things were going to be all

rupted dazedly. "How on earth
could you know they were going
to be all right? We dtdn t know
ourselves until about twenty min
utes ago."
Linda informed him. "1 heard
you two rowing, so I knew every
thing was going well. I telephoned
well, several of those most in
terested." Which was why. Brenda sup
posed, the studio soon resembled
a mob scene. Everybody was there
except Dr. VanNe.ss, who was out
making calls, .'nd Grenadine, who
sulked for the rest of the day be
cause Mrs. Rosttetor had forbid
den her to leave the house.
"Aren't they dears?" Brenda
commented when. Just before
lunch time she found herself alone
with Mac. "Oh, I do think this is
the nicest street in the world!
Think of our having the Judge's
house for our very own!"
But not for nothing was Dion
MaeKelvey an advertising man.
He firmly ignored all side Lssues.
"Kiss me!" he commanded.
