“Why, yes, of course. On our camping trip, perhaps.”
“Won’t that be jolly? Papa says we’re to stay in the mountains as long as we like—that’s what he bought the auto for. Gerald and I have been planning to start the first of the week if you can be ready.”
“Oh, I’m sure we can. I’ll speak to Aunt Betty and let you know.”
“Do so, and I’ll run over to Bellvieu to-morrow to discuss the details. Did that nice boy, Jim Barlow, return to Baltimore with you?”
“Yes; he is going with us on the trip—at least, Aunt Betty said he was included in the invitation.”
“Indeed he is! I like him immensely, dear—lots more than he likes me, I reckon.”
“Oh, I don’t know!”
“I’m sure of it.”
“Aurora, I’m afraid you’re trying to make a conquest.”
