David looked at her with smiling eyes, yet he said, "I'm afraid I shan't feel very sure of you."
"You're a funny David!" laughed Polly. "I say, let's forget all this, and just be a boy and girl having a good time!"
"Forget that we love each other, Polly?"
"No, no! but take that for granted, and let it drop!"
"I guess you'll have to teach me how," David laughed.
"All right! Come sing me that song I saw you buying at the music store the other day!"
When David left the house, he stopped on the threshold to finish what he was saying. Then, suddenly, he caught Polly's hands, pressed a kiss squarely on her lips, and sped away.
"David Collins!" she cried.
But David was already down the steps. He looked back with a radiant bow.
