"Oh goody!" cried Leslie. "I adore surprises."
"You'll adore this one!"
"You might give me a hint!" she suggested.

girl of my experience."
"Delightful! Am I to see her also?"
"Undoubtedly!" explained Douglas. "And you'll succumb to her charms just
as I did."
"When may I meet her?" asked Leslie eagerly.
"I can't say; but soon now."
"All right!" agreed the girl. "Be ready at four tomorrow."
Leslie sat in frowning thought a moment, before the telephone; then her
ever-ready laugh bubbled. "Why didn't I think of it while I was talking?"
she wondered. "Of course Mickey has taken him to visit his Lily. I must
see about that wrong back before bone and muscle harden."
Then she began her task. By evening she had a gasoline stove set up, the
kitchen provisioned, her father's room ready and arrangements sufficiently
completed that she sent the car to bring him to his dinner of cornbread
and bacon under an apple tree scattering pink petals beside the kitchen
door, with every lake breeze.
