Mrs. Ray became rigid. "I have heard of it," she said; "but not from Sammy. He was here and never said a thing about it, but some one else told me. So it's all over town now, is it?"
"They was walking across country and there came on a rain and they stopped for shelter and it was Sammy's where they stopped."
Mrs. Ray sewed very fast. "I always said they were tramps anyway," she said, haughtily; "now you'll all see."
"Seems funny Sammy never told you about it."
"Well, he never did."
"He tells you everything—don't he?"
"I thought so."
"It couldn't be he really took a fancy to either of 'em," reflected Mrs. Dunstall; "I don't think they're good-looking."
"Good-looking!"
"But you know, men are queer, Mrs. Ray. There was Mr. Ray. He was queer."
