Chapter 10 Dummy With Dropsy T BREAKFAST Asey propped the official program against his coffee cup and read doggedly through the events of the day. Tuesday was Old Settlers’ Day, and began with a town flag-rais- ing at nine-thirty. School chil- dren, the chorus, and the soprano would render “America.” “Aha,” Asey said. “Render is th but rend’d be better—” he told Bertha, the Leaches’ cook. After “America” and “Billings- | te Beautiful.” the remainder of morning was devoted to a re- ion of Old Settlers at the various el hes, an address of welcome at the Town Hall, and at .twelve- tl there was to be a luncheon for the lambs, given by the sclect- then in the Women’s Club Parlor. The shedp and goats had to: buy themselves a box lunch, which a footnote described to the last stuffed olive. The afternoon was more br’less mutilated by baseball, Billingsgate All-Stars versus Philbrick’s Fire- works Nine.

Grad- ually he led her to talk of Sara, but at the barest suggestion of her sleepwalking, Bertha shut up like | | a clam and retired to the kitchen, | “Huh,” Asey said. He took his roadster from the garage and drove over to the little one-roomed house Slade had built for himself on the outskirts of town. The door was open, and the house was empty. On an unmade bed were laid out immaculate white flannel trousers and a blue coat with brass buttons. There were fish hooks and lines on the table. “I bet,” Asey said, “he’s playin’ hookey an’ gone fishin’. But—” A young man ceme to the door as Asey left. “Mike there?
