At supper the landlady told Miss Dickinson of Jed's call. Luella expressed great regret that she had not seen him.
"I should fall in love with Mr. Gilman, I know I would," she said. "Why didn't you ask him to call at Macy's?"
"I will when I see him again."
CHAPTER XXXII. AT BAR HARBOR.
About eleven o'clock one forenoon the yacht Juno came to anchor in the harbor of Mount Desert.
Jed gazed admiringly at the rugged shores, the picturesque village, the background of hills, the smaller islands surrounding the main island, like the satellites of a larger planet.
"It is beautiful!" he said. "I never dreamed of such a place."
"Yes," said Roper, "it is by far the most attractive island on the American coast. I think we shall find it pleasant to stay here for a time."
