“I certainly did. That makes another queer thing.”

“Perhaps you didn’t address it correctly.”

“I don’t see how I could help it. I think I can get off next week Friday or Saturday, and will telephone to make sure. Will I have to write to Miss Randolph?”

“We are allowed calls on Saturday afternoon. Just send in your card to Miss Randolph, with my name, too. What time will you come?”

“About three o’clock.”

“I shall be ready to see you at that time, then. Don’t get any more demerits!”

“No, not if I can help it. I remember that the ice carnival will be held again some day. May I speak to skate with you?”

“Does the best skater in the military school have any doubts as to that?”

“Meaning me?”

“Meaning you.”
