"He said he would come."
"But he is late."
"So are you."
"I couldn't help it."
"I suppose he can't, either. But what are we going to do, Fan?" asked Kate, who did not seem to be satisfied with the present prospect of the enterprise, whatever it was.
"We are going to have a good time."
"You said that before; but I want to know what we are going to do. You asked me to meet you here at half past eight. You come at nine, and I don't see that anything is to be done. I shall catch it for playing truant from school, and all for nothing."
"You shall have the best time you have had in your life."
"I don't know about that. Why don't you tell me what you mean to do?"
"I am almost afraid to tell you, Kate."
