Stupid, that is why I am brieing you
now. She was famous actress when Papa
was younger. You see, Papa was playing with
the boy across the street and this boy had an
older brother at Harvard. One Sunday the
brother brought Mrs. Fiske to Wakefield in
his red Peerless roadster. He introduced her
to his younger brother and to Papa. 1t made
quite an impression on Papa"
Him." said judicially. "If your Papa is
conservative, how come his proudest child
hood memories include this lurid episode?"
Because it was part of his life in Wake
field" said Miranda stubbornly. She looked
at me obviously. "Oh dear, wonder if any,
thing will help?"
why don't we just go and get married?
Then tomorrow when Papa arrives there will
be nothing for him to decide"
She shook her head - very prettily, too.
''IT'S not matter of Papa making decisions
for me. It's just that Papa is old-fashioned
and this idea may hit him awfully hard
Miranda's eyes grew soft. II wouldn't hurt
Papa for the world"
Tdpd, SdIucI, was DOIH Unity years LOO
late. He must have thought Life with Father
was a straight play of family life as it ought
to be and never laughed once"
I'm afraid you are right" said Miranda.
but the thing that will puzzle Papa most is
that you have no steady employment and at
the same time no independent income. And
if only you hadn't done publicity for What's
his-name's senatorial campaign. Papa was
furious when that man won the election"
Good Lord! Could there be any man more
conservative than Senator Gaynor?" Miranda
started to open her mouth and held up
my hand. Don't tell me. Let me guess.
There is and it's Papa
About this steady job, said Miranda.
What steady job?"

"Or maybe Oriental?"

If he is against you and believe he will be,
then this is going to be tough
Its going to be tough any way you look
at it." said. We've known each other just
ten days. We met on this Florida beach. We
would scarcely recognize one another in what
are vulgarly called street clothes. My name
is Smith and yours is Henderson of the Boston
Hendersons. Papa is not going to like any
of it."
Miranda got angry. That already knew
about her, that she could get angry in short
order After marriage might be telling my
self she was short-tempered, but right now
was telling myself merely that she had spirit.
II could hate you when you get like this"
Miranda said. Il am from Philadelphia, not
Boston, and my family means very little in
Philadelphia. As boy, Papa was in Wake
field, Massachusetts,. We're not blooded, or
whatever the term u.s. and we are not rich. |
suppose we are what my aunt in Wakefield
likes to say we are - of good stock and mod
erately well off. This tends to make Papa
conservative, that's ALL
II can't see why" said.
''PAPA will want to talk to you about Wake
field when he was boy. You must not look
bored. He may even want to tell you about
the time he met Mrs. Fiske in Wakefield.
II don't seem to recall Mrs. Fiske."
