Then, when Sage King reached the spot, Lucy rolled the pack off to the ground.
"Oh, that was a job!" she cried.
The rider looked up with eyes that seemed keener, less staring than she remembered.

"You came?
...

I was afraid you wouldn't," he said.
"Sure I came....

You're better--not badly hurt ?" she said, gravely, "I--I'm so glad." "I've got a crimp in my back, that's all." Lucy was quick to see that after the first glance at her he was all eyes for Sage King.
