The car stopped, Douglas sprang out and offered
his hand as he saw Leslie intended descending. She took the hand and kept
it in her left. With her right she included woods, water, orchard and
cabin.
"These are my surprise for you," she said. "I am going to live here this
summer, and keep house for you and Dad while you run and reform the world.
Welcome home, Douglas!"
He slowly looked around, then at Mr. Winton.
"Do you believe her?" he asked incredulously.
"Yes indeed! Leslie has the faculty of making good. And I'm one day ahead
of you. She tried this on me last night. Hurry into your bathing suit;
we'll swim before dinner, and then we'll fish. It was great going in this
morning! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!"
"Enjoy it!" cried Douglas. "Here is where the paucity of our language is
made manifest."
Too happy herself for the right word, Leslie showed Douglas to his room,
with its white bed, and row of hooks, on one of which hung the bathing
suit; then she went to put on her own, and they hurried to the lake.
