And it was wearing his ring still she could not part with it! O blundering male ingrate! 'My treasure! My angel! he murmured ecstatically. The little poet sat in the East-side café looking six feet high.
Mansfield was caught a yard from the base. He retired in chagrin, while Willard's cheered ecstatically. Then the batsman struck out on a slow drop ball.
