“Three weeks! And how far did you say you had travelled?”
“At the farthest point, I should say sixty miles from home.”
“But how can you say that in travelling only sixty miles and being gone three weeks that you have seen so many strange places and people?”
“Why,” I exclaimed, “haven't you seen anything strange around here?'”
“Why, no—” glancing quickly around her.
“Well, I'm strange, am I not?”
“Well—”
“And you're strange.”
She looked at me with the utmost amazement. I could scarcely keep from laughing.
