"A little inclined to be jumpy still, eh? Ah, well, you had rather a nasty experience. But you'll be all right again in a few days."
"I think I am all right now," she said, with a smile. "Don't you think I might go out of doors?"
"Well, now, what do you think yourself?" he questioned, stroking his chin and smiling.
"I'm just a little shaky on my feet," she answered, "but I guess that would go off when I got into the fresh air."
"And how about the bruises?"
"Oh, they are disappearing one by one."
"And how far do you think you could walk?"
"I don't know, but I do know it's awfully dull being in the house."
"And do you want to go anywhere in particular?" he asked innocently, and he glanced at her furtively out of the corner of his eye.
