We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
He walked toward us, with his easy, self-assured smile. "Surprised you again, Alma." He turned to Andy. "Matter of fact, I surprised myself. I'd planned to leave today. But last night at the hotel, I got to talking, asking questions and the like — and decided Winston College might like to hear about a little idea of mine. So this morning I saw Dean Fuller and he gratified me very much by being very interested. I'm staying on."
"You're — staying?" I repeated stupidly. "You saw — Dean Fuller?"
He went on glibly talking about his little "idea" to Andy. I hardly listened. It was something about now that the college had been so hard hit by having its enrollments curtailed by the war, there was some property owned by the college that could be developed sufficiently to bring in a good income. . . . Andy heard him through, his intelligent gray eyes never leaving Jed's face.
Finally Jed said, "There are some things I've got to talk over with you, Alma. If you're not too busy — "
"I'm sorry," Andy cut in. "We are going—"
"Please, Andy, I — let's make it tomorrow. I — I'll have to see Jed now — I'm terribly sorry." I was pleading with my eyes for him to understand.
"Oh." There was a little silence. "Just as you like." Andy bowed and turned away, like any casual stranger.
Jed took my arm and led me into the sandwich shop. When our orders were taken, I faced him desperately across the small, scarred table.
"You promised! You said you'd go away and never come back!"
"That was before I knew the easy pickings around here . . . Now don't look pious, Alma. This deal is on the up and up. Chance for me to pick up some real dough, and it'll be a long time before Fuller finds out he's not , quite as smart as he thinks he is."
"I'm going to tell him about you. I don't care if it means my job or any! thing else! You're not going to cheat j these good, simple people! I'm — "
Jed blandly lit a cigarette. "I don't
; think you will. I saw Julian this
i morning. Quite a kid. Said he was
] going in the Navy. I didn't tell him
this, but he can't go in unless I say
so. I'm his legal guardian, not you.
And furthermore, baby," he leaned
over the table and his face was no
longer bland, "one squawk out of you
to anybody, and I'll take him away
from you! I've got more right to him
than you have, according to the law.
So don't forget that."
