After the buffet-supper for Jinny, his sister Rose and Gregory Marl said, "What a nice girl that was; like to see her again," but Cass wondered that more people did not comment. He need not have wondered; they did.
Everybody in town--it being understood that everybody-in-town includes some three hundred persons out of the 85,000--discussed Jinny, by telephone, by letter, over the directors' table, or at the Paul Bunyan Bar. But they did not reveal this to Cass, for he was a man not overfond of being tickled in the ribs.
