"Are you hungry, Ruth, or have you an engagement with that Mr. Golter?" her aunt asked.
"I am not very hungry and I haven't a date with anybody, but I have some work to do."
After the meal was over Ruth worked for an hour and a quarter. After her work was finished she went out alone for a walk. She had walked about half way to the business section when she was agreeably surprised to meet Harold.
"Well, when did you get back?" she asked.
"Just got in, and was coming out to call on you."
"I was just taking a walk. Will you walk with me, or shall we return to the house?"
"I would just as soon walk. I have been riding on the train so long that I need to stretch myself."
"How was the luck?" she inquired.
"The finest kind. I got the job, and now it's up to me to make good."
"I am sure you will do that," she said.
