She yawned, in a pleasantly relaxed way, and snuggled. “I hate to go to bed a night like this,” she sighed.
Jerome suggested daringly: “Let’s stay up all night!”
Then she tittered again and narrowed her eyes. But for all her lightness, it was becoming obvious that Lili’s attitude toward Jerome had altered somewhat since the day she had gone around with the petition about tie clips. She still beamed on him, of course, because Lili wouldn’t know how to look at any man without more or less beaming. But she also looked at him not a little seriously. He didn’t, somehow, seem quite so funny to look at as he had at first, and he didn’t talk so stiffly.
After a little she asked: “What are you going to do when we get there?”
Jerome didn’t know.
“Haven’t you any idea?”
He shrugged and lamented: “I’ve only got forty cents to my name!”
She poised it with a faint but very friendly smile.
“I know one thing,” he declared stoutly. “I don’t like the idea of going back—honest I don’t!”
