"Yes."
"Well, the folks felt awful when they thought you were all dead; 'n' so did I. Afterward I overheard marmer say she didn't think it possible you could be such a scamp. I s'pose she meant as not to be drowned. Funny, though, wasn't it?"
"Very."
"They were goin' to put on black, but Caro wouldn't; she said you wa'n't drowned. I say, how do you lug the crow round?"
"We have a big cage and have it in the baggage-car."
Leander contemplated this fact in silence for a time. It was plain that some things puzzled him. Then he took out his watch, evidently something new, for he had already looked at it twice in this interview.
"I guess it's about time she was here," he remarked.
"Who?" asked Lawrence, quickly.
"Why, Caro, of course. I was going to show her how my new fish-pole works. It's down below there. Oh, there she is now."
