[Rudder Grange by Frank R. Stockton]@TWC D-Link bookRudder Grange CHAPTER XII 19/25
The man shouted after me, but I paid no attention.
I did not feel in a good humor with him. Euphemia was much disturbed by the various occurrences of the afternoon. She was sorry for the man in the tree; she was sorry that the agent for the Royal Ruby grape had been obliged to go away; and I had a good deal of trouble during dinner to make her see things in the proper light.
But I succeeded at last. I did not hurry through dinner, and when we had finished I went to my work at the barn.
Tramps are not generally pressed for time, and Pomona had been told to give our captive something to eat. I was just locking the door of the carriage-house, when Pomona came running to me to tell me that the tramp wanted to see me about something very important--just a minute, he said.
I put the key in my pocket and walked over to the tree.
