"Elizabeth," he shouted, "is that you?"
Miss Berry's surprise showed in her voice.
"Why, George!" she cried. "Where in the world are you going?"
The horses stopped. Kent leaned forward.
"Going?" he repeated. "Why, I was going after you, of course. Are you wet through?"
He seemed somewhat irritated, so the captain thought.
"No, indeed," replied Elizabeth. "I am all right. But why did you come after me? Didn't they tell you I was with Cap'n Kendrick?"
"They told me—yes. But why didn't you tell me you were going to Orham? I would have driven you over; you know I would."
"You were at work at the store."
"Well, I could have taken the afternoon off.... But there! no use talking about it out here in this rain. Come on.... Oh, wait until I turn around. Drive ahead a little, will you?"
