Elwood?" "No that is only for a short time," he said, hesitating, and a little confused at the discovery of his design, which a second thought told him she had made; "only for a short time. But don't stop me to talk now; you see the company are retiring. I must see the gentlemen off." "Mr. Elwood, I must be heard," persisted the troubled and anxious wife.
The proposal suited Howard, although prudence told him to remain where he was and keep his friend with him. But the restraint was so irksome that he was all too willing a listener to the persuasions of his companion. "I noticed there was quite a high range of hills just back of us," added Elwood.

"You Indians!" said Elwood, looking at the other with a playful yet half-chiding expression.
