He bowed his head a little, as though to catch the trend of the jolly story better, nodding. "What's wrong?" he muttered back. "Barry's watchin' you out of the shadow." Then: "You fool, don't look!" But there was method in Vic's raising his head.
Miss Mehitable returned her regard affectionately. The golden hair had been wound up and secured with Mrs. Barry's hairpins. "I wish there were some way by which I need never see him again," she said. "Why, Miss Melody, child, what do you mean? Every word I told you in my letter was true.
