“I’ll let him wait a couple of weeks anyhow,” she thought. “It will do him good to wait a while. I might as well read tonight.” So she selected a book and returned to the porch.

“All ready for tomorrow’s ride, Lieutenant?” he asked, giving her a mock salute.
Marjorie looked up laughingly.
“How did you know?” she asked.
“Doris told me.”
“Well, I certainly am ready—I can hardly wait! When do you go?”
“I don’t go at all; I have to work at home. I get up early and bring in the horses—”
“Oh, that must be heaps of fun! I love to ride early in the morning!”
“All right, you can come along and help. The more the merrier!”
