"You bought one for me to Texas."
"Of course. Did you think I wouldn't? That would have been poor economy in the game we've been playing."
It was her turn to show that she was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"You never cared to talk things over. I saw you didn't want to, so I didn't press. And when this complication about the Waldos came up, I thought—perhaps I was mistaken—that you—trusted me to do the best I could."
"Yes. That's why I expected you not to get me a ticket to Texas."
"How far did you expect me to get it?"
"I—don't know."
"That's just it. Neither did I know. I got the whole ticket, so you might choose your stopping-place."
"Oh!" Annesley was ashamed, though she was sure she had no need to be. "That was why!"
"That was why. Things being as they are, it was well I had your ticket to show with mine, wasn't it?"
