"In future I'm going to follow your lead: expect the best, and see how it works."
"Oh, it will work," said Mrs. Perry, and smilingly, she went back to join Jeanette, who had taken her seat in the car behind.
"All's going to be well now," she said, laughing, as she settled herself beside Jeanette. "I've reformed our inveterate pessimist."
"You don't mean our dinner companion, Tom Furniss?" exclaimed Jeanette.
The older woman nodded.
"Yes, indeed. He's promised in future to expect only the best things in life—and if we all could concentrate on the best things, why, we could turn this curious old world into a paradise."
"You're a dear," said Jeanette. "But," she added suddenly, "I wish we'd hurry and get away from Wyoming."
Mrs. Perry looked in surprise at the girl. "Why are you so anxious to get away from the state which you should be very fond of?"
"Just because," said Jeanette.
"A woman's answer!" exclaimed Mrs. Perry.
