<p>Bell was silent for some minutes, but when I looked at him I fancied that he was thinking of something else⁠—that he was not considering the project.</p>
<p>“Why, no, <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Ames,” he said, after a while, “I can’t make that deal. I’m awful thankful to you, though, for telling me about it. But I’ve got to stay here. I can’t go to Mountain City.”</p>
<p>“Why?” I asked.</p>
<p>“Missis Bell,” he replied, “won’t live in Mountain City, She hates the place and wouldn’t go there. I’ve got to keep right on here in Saltillo.”</p>
<p>“Missis Bell,” he replied, “won’t live in Mountain City. She hates the place and wouldn’t go there. I’ve got to keep right on here in Saltillo.”</p>
<p>“<abbr>Mrs.</abbr> Bell!” I exclaimed, too puzzled to conjecture what he meant.</p>
<p>“I ought to explain,” said Bell. “I know George and I know <abbr>Mrs.</abbr> Bell. He’s impatient in his ways. He can’t stand things that fret him, long, like I can. Six months, I give them⁠—six months of married life, and there’ll be another disunion. <abbr>Mrs.</abbr> Bell will come back to me. There’s no other place for her to go. I’ve got to stay here and wait. At the end of six months, I’ll have to grab a satchel and catch the first train. For George will be sending out The Call.”</p>
