“I suppose,” he said, after he had bade good-bye to Mrs. Brent, “you won’t get over to the Point for some time, Louise.”
“No, not for a month, probably. I don’t mind a great deal. The main thing is to get Morris well again. It’s going to be terribly dull and stupid for him, Gordon.”
“Fierce!” They had paused at the gate. “If there’s anything I can do, or anything any of us can do, Louise——”
“Not now, but you can do a lot later,” she replied smilingly. “You can come and see him and cheer him up in a day or two. Will you?”
“Of course! Glad to! And I’ll bring the other fellows, too.”
“I guess there aren’t very many others, are there?”
“Many others?” he asked.
“Many others who would care to come, I mean. Morris doesn’t seem to have very many boy friends, does he?”
“Why, I don’t know. I guess every fellow likes Morris——”
“Fibber! Never mind, though. You come when you can, Gordon. Good-bye. I’ll tell Ryan to get a place ready for the automobile.”
