"All right, I will."
"I don't know what excuse you can give for having a strange girl's letter with you."
"I won't need any excuse. I'll just say to Ruth that I've got a letter from a friend of yours about John Swift. She'll just grab the letter—that's all. I'll say you were willing."
"You come around and tell me what she says afterwards."
"All right." Peggy was making a prolonged departure, kicking at the turf as she stood at the gate. "I'll come around this afternoon, anyway, and we'll go and get some tutti-frutti ice-cream."
"All right, and if you hear anything more about who those boys were, you can tell me then."
"All right, and I'll bring around that letter I was telling you about, from Chester Reynolds."
"All right. I guess my dinner's ready. I heard the bell when we first got in sight of the house."
At this point Grandfather appeared at the door and seeing Elizabeth still looking in the direction of her departing friend, he approached firmly and grasped her by the ear, and led her, protesting, into the house.
