Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1892-06-25

That evening, as the clocks were strik-
ing eight, | was on Mr. Bulsale's front
doorstep, armed with a new piece of
music, over which, a few minutes later,
Ethel and | were bending our heads in
delightful proximity, while papa, in his
f~avorite chair, took alternate whitfs at his
churchwarden and sips at his glass of
mountain dew.
In soft whispers. through the music, I
informed Ethel of all that had t~ranspired
during my interview with her revered
but u%nbendipg parent. The darling girl
quite agreed with me regarding the I'M
timeliness of the pleasantly her father
had INDUCED in, though at the same time
she devoutly wished she could be
"kuocked down to myself, of course.
During the evening S%owerbutt put in
an appearance, and the piano had to be
closed. Then followed a discussion over
a sale of a small but valuable lot OF
antique furniture, which Mr.. Bulsale
was going to hold in a few days at his
extensive mart. There was also the proof
of the advertisement to look over, to
which, as usual, | added a little embel-
lishment. Mr.. Bulsale descanted
cloquently upon the beauty and value of
several of the articles which would very
likely 60 into the brokers' hands for a
mere song; particularly, he observed,
as he warmed up professionally, "a large
cabinet or wardrobe, beautifully carved
and very substantial, no gimcrack work"
"Just the very thing | should like"
exclaimed Sowerbutt. at would come
in handy in case-if cver-I should get
married, you know" And the man of
sauce cast ii look at Ethel, which, no
doubt, he intended should convey a
world of significance.
AT eleven we broke up, Sowerbutt and
| going part of the way together to our
respective homes. The purveyor again
intimated his fixed determination to Sc
cure the large cabinet, provided the fig
ure was not run up too high. Sowerbutt
was a very careful, not to say stingy,
man, considering the pot of money he
had made with the ''Sauce for the
Million" which, by the way, can1or com
pels me to admit, was 4 very relishIng
condiment, and deserved the enormo
sale it enjoyed.

"Tallygratf, sirl" said Mary Jane,
bursting in upon me.
