“Two?”
“Yes. A row boat for you, and a launch that will take you all over the lake with only the exertion of steering on your part.”
“David, I want my pendant and ring. I am so tired of lying here, I want to play with them.”
“Where do you keep them, Ruth?”
“In the willow teapot. I thought no one would look there.”
The Harvester laughed and brought the little boxes. He had to open them, but the Girl put on the ring and asked him if he would not help her with the pendant. He slipped the thread around her neck and clasped it. With a sigh of satisfaction she took the ornament in one hand and closed her eyes. He thought she was falling asleep, but presently she looked at him.
“You won't allow them to take it from me?”
“Indeed no! There is no reason on earth why you should not have that thread around your neck if you want it.”
“I am going to sleep now. I want two things. May I have them?”
“You may,” said the Harvester promptly, “provided they are not to eat.”
