Then Leslie took leave of the others, returned to the cabin, and hurried
to her room to dress for her trip to bring her lover. Douglas Bruce was

Leslie, seeing her opportunity.
Both men agreed that would be enjoyable. After a few minutes of casual
talk they relaxed while making smooth passage over city streets and the

Douglas sat upright, looking around him.
"I don't recognize this," he said. "Have we been here before, Leslie?"
"I think not," she answered. "I don't know why. It is one of my best loved
drives. Always before we have taken the road to the club house, or some of
its branches.
