"Come along, Susan," said Star.
"What! are you going to drive with us?" said Susan.
"Yes," answered Star.
Susan got in, looking sulky. Soon the wagonette was filled. Star jumped in last, banged-to the door, and told the driver to start.
They reached their destination, a beautiful ruin about eight miles away, examined it to their hearts' content, had tea in a cottage near, where such things were supplied to visitors, and finally were about to start home, when Star went up to Susan and touched her on the arm.
"Read your note," she said brusquely.
"My note?"
"Don't be silly, Susan; I saw Ellen give it to you. Read it; I want to know the contents."
"What possible affair is it of yours?"
"I mean to make it my affair," said Star. "You had best be quick about it. You know I disobeyed yesterday."
