Mam Linda Book PDF Summary
IN the rear of the long store, at a round table under a hanging-lamp with a tin shade, four young men sat playing poker. The floor of that portion of the room was raised several feet higher than that of the front, and between the two short flights of steps was the inclining door leading to the cellar, which was damp and dark and used only for the storage of salt, syrup, sugar, hardware, and general rubbish. Near the front door the store-keeper, James Blackburn, a portly, bearded man of forty-five, sat chatting with Carson Dwight, a young lawyer of the town. “I don’t want any of you boys to think that I’m complaining,” the elder man was saying. “I’ve been young myself; in fact, as you know, I go the gaits too, considering that I’m tied down by a family and have a living to make. I love to have the gang around—I swear I do, though sometimes I declare it looks like this old shebang is more of a place of amusement than a business house in good standing.” “Oh, I know we hang around here too much,” Carson Dwight replied; “and you ought to kick us out, the last one of us.” “Oh, it isn’t so bad at night like this, when trade’s over, but it is sort o’ embarrassing during the day. Why, what do you think? A Bradstreet commercial reporter was in the other day to get a statement of my standing, and while he was here Keith Gordon—look at him now, the scamp! holding his cards over his head; that’s a bluff. I’ll bet he hasn’t got a ten-spot. While that agent was here Keith and a lot more of your gang were back there on the platform dancing a hoe-down. The dust was so thick you couldn’t see the windows. The reporter looked surprised, but he didn’t say anything. I told him I thought I’d be able to pay for all I bought in market, and that I had no idea how much I was worth. I haven’t invoiced my stock in ten years. When I run low I manage to replenish somehow, and so it goes on from year to year.” “Well, I am going to talk to the boys,” Dwight said. “They are taking advantage of your goodnature. The whole truth is they consider you one of them, Jim. Marrying didn’t change you. You are as full of devilment as any of the rest, and they know it, and love to hang around you.”
