"This next summer," he said, "I have promised to take Ethan to my brother's place in the White Mountains."
"Then the summer after this."
"Yes; the summer after he could come, if he were well."
"If he were ill, I would come to see him."
"Ah—yes."
"When does his vacation begin?"
"About the middle of June."
"If he is well, you will send him to us the third week?"
"Yes."
