"I-it's strange how men agree with one another," said Kate, pensively. "M-my cousin has always said that a g-good beating with a bed-slat would about fit my c-case."
"Bright boy!" said St. Quentin. "He ought to get on in the world."
"Hadn't we better turn back, Noel? I have an engagement at five."
"Do you have to go home to dress, or shall I drop you anywhere?"
"I was just going to see Gladys for half an hour. You may drop me at Mrs. Goddard's if you will."
"Will Carolina be there?" asked St. Quentin.
"Yes, I think so. Do you want to see her?" asked Kate, innocently.
"Well, I'd rather like to see her with the child. Will you let me come in with you?"
"By all means. I should be delighted."
"Then I can bring you home afterward."
