Never got it! Then how did you find me? The young farmer smiled a springtime smile. I dropped into that Home Restaurant next door this evening, said he. I dont care who knows it; I like a dish of some kind of greens at this time of the year. I ran my eye down that nice, typewritten bill of fare looking for something in that line. When I got below cabbage I turned my chair over and hollered for the proprietor. He told me where you lived. I remember, sighed Sarah happily. That was dandelions below cabbage. Id know that cranky capital W way above the line that your typewriter makes anywhere in the world, said Franklin. Why, theres no W in dandelions, said Sarah, in surprise. The young man drew the bill of fare from his pocket, and pointed to a line. Sarah recognized the first card she had typewritten that afternoon. There was still the rayed splotch in the upper right-hand corner where a tear had fallen. But over the spot where one should have read the name of the meadow plant, the clinging memory of their golden blossoms had allowed her fingers to strike strange keys. Between the red cabbage and the stuffed green peppers was the item: Dearest Walter, with Hard-Boiled Egg. |
