“I can’t see why not. This is a slack hour.”
“I’m going to try it!” the girl exclaimed. “Tomorrow I’ll be getting my uniform, won’t I?”
“Yes, you will.”
“Then my cap must be fitted properly.”
“Try it, and good luck.” The Lieutenant held out a hand. “It’s been a pleasure to talk to you.”
“Oh!” Norma exclaimed. “I want to see you many, many times!”
“My visit here at this time is short. But in the future. Here’s hoping.”
“In the future. Here’s hoping,” Norma whispered to herself as she passed through the door.
