He
was
a
young
man
from
Bonneville
—
a
clerk
,
I
think
,
because
I
remember
seeing
him
in
a
store
there
,
and
he
wore
the
prettiest
clothes
!
”
“
I
guess
he
got
lost
in
the
shuffle
,
”
observed
Annixter
.
Suddenly
an
idea
occurred
to
him
.
He
took
his
resolution
in
both
hands
.
He
clenched
his
teeth
.
“
Say
!
look
here
,
Miss
Hilma
.
What
’
s
the
matter
with
you
and
I
stealing
this
one
for
ourselves
?
I
don
’
t
mean
to
dance
.
I
don
’
t
propose
to
make
a
jumping
-
jack
of
myself
for
some
galoot
to
give
me
the
laugh
,
but
we
’
ll
walk
around
.
Will
you
?
What
do
you
say
?
”
Hilma
consented
.
“
I
’
m
not
so
VERY
sorry
I
missed
my
dance
with
that
—
that
—
little
clerk
,
”
she
said
guiltily
.
“
I
suppose
that
’
s
very
bad
of
me
,
isn
’
t
it
?
”
Annixter
fulminated
a
vigorous
protest
.
“
I
AM
so
warm
!
”
murmured
Hilma
,
fanning
herself
with
her
handkerchief
;
“
and
,
oh
!
SUCH
a
good
time
as
I
have
had
!
I
was
so
afraid
that
I
would
be
a
wall
-
flower
and
sit
up
by
mamma
and
papa
the
whole
evening
;
and
as
it
is
,
I
have
had
every
single
dance
,
and
even
some
dances
I
had
to
split
.
Oh
-
h
!
”
she
breathed
,
glancing
lovingly
around
the
barn
,
noting
again
the
festoons
of
tri
-
coloured
cambric
,
the
Japanese
lanterns
,
flaring
lamps
,
and
“
decorations
”
of
evergreen
;
“
oh
-
h
!
it
’
s
all
so
lovely
,
just
like
a
fairy
story
;
and
to
think
that
it
can
’
t
last
but
for
one
little
evening
,
and
that
to
-
morrow
morning
one
must
wake
up
to
the
every
-
day
things
again
!
”
“
Well
,
”
observed
Annixter
doggedly
,
unwilling
that
she
should
forget
whom
she
ought
to
thank
,
“
I
did
my
best
,
and
my
best
is
as
good
as
another
man
’
s
,
I
guess
.
”
Hilma
overwhelmed
him
with
a
burst
of
gratitude
which
he
gruffly
pretended
to
deprecate
.
Oh
,
that
was
all
right
.
It
hadn
’
t
cost
him
much
.
He
liked
to
see
people
having
a
good
time
himself
,
and
the
crowd
did
seem
to
be
enjoying
themselves
.
What
did
SHE
think
?
Did
things
look
lively
enough
?
And
how
about
herself
—
was
she
enjoying
it
?
