We rode along in silence. Willie Gear was his father's pride and pet.
Aunt Kate sat under an umbrella near where the company was working on location, and she scribbled all day in a notebook. Jennie whispered that she, too, was bitten by the scenario bug! "I feel it coming over me," announced Helen. "I've got what I think is a dandy idea." "Oh, there's too much to do," Jennie Stone said. "I couldn't find time to dabble in literature."
Oh!" she concluded, "to think he should ruin Jennie." "By thunder!" shouted Gerhardt, giving way to a fury of feeling, "I thought so! Brander! Ha! Your fine man! That comes of letting her go running around at nights, buggy-riding, walking the streets. I thought so. God in heaven!
"So I have heard," said Jennie carelessly, "but I most confess that I didn't read that copy of the Bugle." "You amaze me! I should have thought that would have been the first part of the paper to which any lady would turn. However, the report of the ball has nothing to do with what we have in hand.
