The cadet remembered Flirtation Walk, at West Point, and it struck him that there was danger, at the present moment, of Flirtation Drive.
"I wonder what the dear girl is thinking about at this present moment ?" pondered Dick.
"I wonder what it was that made him so abstracted, and then so suddenly merry ?" was the thought in Miss Bentley's mind.
"That was a very pretty road we came through before we turned into this one," commented Dick at a hazard.
"I didn't notice it," replied Laura.

"Where are we now?
Oh, yes! I know the locality now." "You have driven out here before---with Mr.Cameron ?" The words were out ere Cadet Prescott could recall them.

He felt indescribably angry with himself.

In the first place, the question he had asked was really none of his business.

In the second place, his inquiry, under the circumstances, was a rude one.
"Mr.Cameron was in the party," Laura replied readily.
