Isabel had strolled down toward the barn. Juliet hesitated, duty bidding her follow Isabel and inclination holding her back. Presently Isabel returned, and her face was surprisingly animated.
"Is that our car in the barn?" she asked. Her manner betrayed great excitement.
"Why, it's Allison Kent's car, isn't it?" inquired Romeo.
"I thought it was mine. Colonel Kent gave it to me for a wedding present."
"I thought you couldn't keep the wedding presents unless the wedding came off," Juliet observed, practically.
"I've still got my ring," said Isabel. "Allison said he wanted me to keep it, and he gave me his violin, too. I should think they'd want me to keep the car."
"Better make sure," suggested Doctor Jack, politely.
"People don't scatter automobiles around carelessly among their friends, as a general rule," observed Juliet.
"I wish I could get it up to Kent's," Romeo said, thoughtfully. "It always reminds me—here."
"I'd just as soon drive it back," the Doctor answered. "It's more of a trot out here than I supposed it was."
