“Yes, I thought we would go in as soon as Dick had gone.”
“That suits me. We’ll have to get a lot of things.”
“I should say so. Why, I haven’t a single decent thing to wear.”
“We’ll put in a good supply, so we won’t have to buy anything while we are away. My! but won’t it be a nice trip?”
“Won’t it though. I can hardly wait for the time to come.”
“Nor I. But let’s get some sleep or we won’t want to get up in the morning.”
Both closed their eyes and tried to sleep. But they had too much on their minds to go to sleep immediately, and it was long minutes before drowsiness overcame them and they lost themselves, only to dream that they were sailing across the ocean.
The following morning they accompanied Dick to Wright’s station, where he took a train for Lexington. There he would have to change for Louisville.
“Let us know as soon as possible?” called Shirley, as he climbed aboard.
“I will,” replied Dick. “I’ll write immediately I have learned one thing or the other.”
