But as it had been he who had broached the subject of her leaving, it was he who must reopen it. "No, but I guess anything I've got to say to him will keep till he gets back. Ed's thinking of buying a clearing-machine that's for sale over Prentice way." "Yes, he told me." Without turning her head, she could tell that he was looking around for the matches.
He said there was a clearing-machine going cheap at Prentice. I've always thought I could make money down our way if I had one. They say you can clear from three to four acres a day with one. Frank thought it was worth my while to come and have a look at it and he said he guessed you'd be glad to see me." "How funny of him not to say anything to me about it," said Nora, frowning once more.
"But," she added with a return to her gay tone, "you've not told me what you're doing in this part of the world, anyway." "Anyway?" Nora blushed. "I've practically spoken to no one but Frank for months; it's natural that I should fall into his way of speaking." "Well, when I got Frank's letter about the clearing-machine " "Frank has written to you?" "Why, yes; didn't you know?
That's why, when Frank wrote about the clearing-machine, I didn't stop to think about it, but just came." "It was awfully nice of you. But why has Reggie Hornby come?" "Oh, he's going back to England." "Is he?" "Yes, he got them to send his passage money at last. His ship doesn't sail till next week, and he said he might just as well stop over here and say good-by to you."
