"And you will walk with me three times a day at West Point and with nobody else?"
"I shall not be at West Point. Magnus, do stop fooling and let me go."
"Bid me good-night, then."
"Good-night."
"I mean the way we said good-bye."
"That is the way I said good-bye," Cherry answered.
"It wasn't the way I said good-bye," said Magnus. "This was the way. And this is the way I say good-night. Cherry, you are a transparent fraud."
"But you must go," Cherry urged, very grave and quiet now. "If you do not go, you never can come again!" she added, as a last argument.
"What a wise girl! I believe she could tackle warped surfaces."
