"I've got to go back," he said in dismay.

"I promised Marvin to see him after practice." "There he comes now," said Tom, nodding toward where the little quarter was approaching with Mr.Robey and Andy Miller.

"I forgot you wanted me to wait, Marvin," said Steve apologetically, as the trio came up.
"Oh, that's all right, Edwards.

I forgot myself.

Another day will do just as well.
