DADDY-LONG-LEGS (7)
Jerusha's anxious frown gave place to quick laughter.
She was by nature a sunny soul, and had always snatched the tiniest excuse to be amused.
If one could derive any sort of entertainment out of the oppressive fact of a Trustee, it was something unexpected to the good.
She advanced to the office quite cheered by the tiny episode, and presented a smiling face to Mrs. Lippett.
To her surprise the morton was also, if not exactly smiling, at least appreciably affable ; she wore an expression almost as pleasant as the one she donned for visitors.
" Sit down, Jerusha, I have something to say to you. "
Jerusha dropped into the nearest chair and waited with a touch of breathlessness.
An automobile flashed past the window ; Mrs. Lippett glanced after it.
" Did you notice the gentleman who has just gone ? "
" I saw his back. "
" He is one of our most affluential Trustees, and has given large sums of money toward the asylum's support. I am not at liberty to mention his name ; he expressly stipulated that he was to reamin unlnown. "
Jerusha's eyes widened slightly ; she was not accustomed to being summoned to the office to discuss the eccentricities of Trustee with the marton.
