Four hours later Courtland, coming up to his room after basket-ball practice, a hot shower, and a swim in the pool, found the telegram:
Traveler arrived safely. Bore the journey well. Many thanks for the introduction. Everybody happy; if you don't believe it come and see for yourself.
Father and Mother Marshall.
Courtland read it and looked dreamily out of the window, trying to fancy Bonnie in her new home. Then he said aloud, with conviction, "Some time I shall go out there and see!"
Just then some one knocked at his door and handed in a note from Gila.
Dear Paul,—Come over this evening, I want to see you about something very special.
Hastily,
GGila.
