Sally thought she understood.
They went out to lunch together. After that they spent three hours shopping. When Sally returned, she found a notice for a phone call in her box.
“A phone call on my day off!” she exclaimed. “Maybe a date. How grand!”
It was Danny and a date as well. He was going for a spin in the air, just a little advanced trainer cabin plane, four hundred and fifty horse power. Would Sally like a look at the airfield, the palms, and the sea from the air?
Sally most certainly would. And so it was a date.
“I suppose it’s no use hanging one of those things on you,” Danny said with a grin as he strapped on his parachute. “You wouldn’t know what to do about it, if something did go wrong.”
“Oh, wouldn’t I?” she challenged. “You forget that Barbara and I took the shorter course and graduated with honors from the sky.”
“Say! That’s right, you did.” At that he produced a second parachute and helped her strap it on.
“You aren’t planning to drop me in the big pond, are you?” she joked.
“Nothing like that. This is a land plane. Oh, we’ll take a turn or two out over the sea but the plane’s been thoroughly worked over. Not a chance of her going wrong.”
