Polly’s heart was repeating the same question. Then things began to right themselves. If both Marietta and David had errands in town it was only natural that they should come together.
When Polly returned home she found that David had been there.
“He said he would drive over to Lilith’s and bring you back,” said Mrs. Dudley.
“I came the short way, cut across the Blanchards’ yard,” explained Polly. “That’s why I didn’t meet him.”
“He seemed anxious to see you to-night, so he will probably be here soon. He is going back early in the morning.”
“Then he won’t stay for the party,” said Polly. “I thought maybe that is what brought him down.”
She repeated this to David himself.
“No,” he replied indifferently, “I don’t train with that crowd. Are you going?”
“Of course,” Polly answered.
He looked at her keenly. “With whom?” he asked.
