And, Lin, only five days more--five days!" Her words made Slone thoughtful, and Lucy, seeing that, straightway grew thoughtful, too.
"Sure--only five days more," repeated Slone, slowly.
His tone convinced Lucy that he meant to speak again as he had spoken once before, precipitating the only quarrel they had ever had.
"Does ANY ONE at Bostil's Ford know you meet me out here ?" he asked, suddenly.
"Only Auntie.

I told her the other day.

She had been watching me.

She thought things.

So I told her." "What did she say ?" went on Slone, curiously.
"She was mad," replied Lucy.
