Now
all the gentlemen must leave the room except one. I suppose we can use
the parlor, Mrs. Mason?"
Mrs. Mason nodded her head in the affirmative.
"I'll 'tend door," said Hiram; and he took his position accordingly.
After the rest of the gentlemen had left the room, Hiram closed the
door, and turning to Huldy said, "Shall I call them, or will you?"
"You call them," said Huldy.
"Got the handkerchief ready?" asked Hiram.
Huldy swung a big red bandanna in the air. Opening a door, Hiram called
out in a loud voice, "Obadiah Strout."
As Strout walked towards the line of young girls they called out
together, "Mister, please take a chair."
Strout sat down in a chair. One of the girls who had the bandanna
handkerchief in her hand passed it quickly over his eyes and tied it
firmly behind his head. Two of the girls then stepped forward and each
one taking one of his hands and extending it at right angles with his
body held it firmly in their grasps. At the same instant his head was
pulled back by one of the girls and a kiss was imprinted on his upturned
mouth.
