About the Book

THE CALICO CAT I Mr. peaslee looked more complacent than ever. It was Saturday noon, and Solomon had just returned from his usual morning sojourn up-street. He had taken off his coat, and was washing his face at the sink, while his wife was dishing up the midday meal. There was salt codfish, soaked fresh, and stewed in milkȔpicked up, as the phrase goes; there were baked potatoes and a thin, pale-looking pie. Mrs. Peaslee did not believe in pampering the flesh, and she did believe in saving every possible cent. Well, said Mr. Peaslee, as they sat down to this feast, I guess Ive got news for ye. His wife gazed at him with interest. Are ye drawed? she asked. Got the notice from Whitcomb right in my pocket. Grand juror. September term. T aint moren a week off. The staccato utterance was caused by the big mouthfuls of codfish and potato which, between phrases, Mr. Peaslee conveyed to his mouth. It was plain to see that he was greatly pleased with his new dignity. What do they give ye for it? asked his wife. Solomon should accept no office which did not bring profit. Two dollars a day and mileage, said Mr. Peaslee, with the emphasis of one who knows he will make a sensation. Mileage? Whats that? Travelin expenses. State allows ye so much a mile. I get eight cents for goin to the courthouse. Ye get eight cents every day? asked his wife, her eyes snapping. She was vague about the duties of a grand juror; maybe he had to earn his two dollars; but she had exact ideas about the trouble of walking up-street. To get eight cents for that was being paid for doing nothing at all, and she was much astonished at the idea. Likely now, aint it? said Mr. Peaslee, with masculine scorn. State dont waste money that way! Mileages to get ye there an take ye home again when terms over. Youre sposed to stay round tween whiles. Humph! said his wife, disappointed. They give ye two dollars a dayȔshe hazarded the shotȔjust for settin round and talkin, dont they? Walkins considerable more of an effort for most folks. Settin round an talkin! exclaimed Mr. Peaslee, so indignantly that he stopped eating for a moment, knife and fork upright in his rigid, scandalized hands, while he gazed at his thin, energetic, shrewish little wife. Settin round and talkin! Its mighty important work, now I tell ye. I guess there wouldnt be much law and order if it want for the grand jury. They dont take none but men o jedgment. Takes gumption, I tell ye. Ye have to pay money to get that kind. Well, said his wife, with the air of one who concedes an unimportant point, anyhow, its good pay for a man whose time aint worth anythin. Aint worth anythin! exclaimed Mr. Peaslee, in hurt tones. Now, Sarepty, ye know bettern that. I dont know how theyll get along without me up to the bank. Theyve got a pretty good idee o my jedgment bout mortgages. They dont pass any without my say so. Mrs. Peaslee sniffed. Ive seen ye in the bank window, settin round with Jim Bartlett and Si Spooner and the rest of em....
