"Tell him I want him for a week or two."
The morning of the day when Mrs. Bunker expected her guests, Glen signified his intention of a temporary departure.
"Why, you are not going to leave us, Glen?" asked Mrs. Stillwater, innocently.
"Oh, I'm just going off for a little sport."
"And when will you be back, Glen?"
"Oh, I'll be back in a week or so."
"I think it's real mean of you, Glen," said Indiana, pouting, "just as we're expecting company, and men, too—and Pa isn't here."
"Oh, there won't be any deficiency. Mrs. Bunker will see to that."
