IX.
“SOME OTHER DAY.”
Mr. Fairfax and Miss Forsythe.
Mr. Fairfax.—And when I woke up you were talking about Billy and the ranch, and I fell in love then and there with the sweetest voice and the dearest girl in all the world.... And it was our Adams, after all. He’s abroad now with Vandewater. I suppose you’ve heard that story about Van, and the girl he’s proposed to annually for the last six years?
Miss Forsythe.—Yes, I’ve known him all my life.
Mr Fairfax.—Well, can you tell who the girl is?
Miss Forsythe.—No, I can’t.
