He arose, and pushing Octave aside, leaned upon the table, bursting into a loud laugh. "Poets all," said he, "be reassured and rejoice. You shall have your story, in spite of those envious serpents.
Evidently he expected her to call at the Bank.... He was used to being called on.... "Shall I come ?" she began. "I can see you at three fifteen," McLean reassured her, and she repeated "Three fifteen," with an odd vibration in her voice. "I wonder," she murmured, "if I came at three ten or three twenty ?" But she didn't.
After a while the girl he had met on the train appeared and intimated by a smile that he might join her.
