CHAPTER XI
14/16

"As for Dave himse'f, he don't onderstand his sudden an' onmerited pop'larity; but wearin' a dazed grin of satisfied ignorance, that a-way, he accepts the sityooation without askin' reasons, an' proceeds to profit tharby.

That household is the most reeconciled model fam'ly outfit in all broad Arizona.

"'Whatever did you do or say, Doc ?' asks Enright a month later, as we-all from across the street observes how Jennie kisses Dave good-bye at the door an' then stands an' looks after him like she can't b'ar to have him leave her sight; 'what's the secret of this second honeymoon of Dave's ?' "'Which I don't say much,' says Peets.

'I merely takes Jennie one side an' exhorts her to brace up an' show herse'f a brave lady.
