"I've been having a bully time, and I'll come back here to finish up the couple of days I have left." "Then the drive which didn't count this morning, and which was postponed again until to-morrow morning, will have to be put off once more," she reminded him with a gay laugh.

She laughed and gave him her hand.
"Well, I wish you good luck," she said.

"Never for a minute!" and he was in such deadly earnest about it that she hastily checked further speech, although she did not know why.
"Good!" she hurriedly exclaimed.
