“I tell you she kept asking me questions, and what could I do but answer,” replied Andy.
“You might have changed the subject. Kittie didn’t like it for a cent.”
“She didn’t?”
“No. I saw her looking at you and Alice in a queer way several times.”
“She did?”
“She did. So did Katy!” mocked Dunk, and his voice was rather snappish.
“Well, I didn’t intend anything,” said Andy. “Gee, but when I try to do the polite thing I get in Dutch, as the saying is. I guess I wasn’t cut out for a lady’s man.”
“Oh, you’re all right,” Dunk assured his chum, “only you want to hunt on your own grounds. Keep off my preserves.”
“All right, I will after this. Just give me the high sign when you see me transgressing again.”
“There isn’t likely to be any ‘again,’ Andy. They’re going home to-morrow.”
