"I'm goin' to set right here till you come in, Ethan Ripley," she said in a firm voice, but gentler than usual. "Wal, you'll set a good while," was his ungracious reply, but each felt a furtive tenderness for the other. He worked on in silence.
Saunders planned to take the younger girls later for at least a few weeks' stay. Ella chaperoned them to Burlingame for a week of theatricals; all three staying with Ella's friend, Mrs. Keith, whose daughter, Mary Peacock, had also Dolly Ripley and lovely Isabel Wallace for her guests.
