Parson Tombs kissed the bride, who, in a certain wildness of grateful surprise, gave him his kiss back again with a hug. When Ravenel's sister, from Flatrock, said: "Well, Colonel Ravenel, aren't you going to kiss me?" he gracefully did so, as if pleased to be reminded of something he might have forgotten. And then he kissed the aged widow with whom he had lived so long.
At three o'clock they were off and with such good company and over fine roads the twenty-five mile ride to Flatrock seemed all too short. "Now you folks who think you have the eats," said Grandfather as they all got out of the car, "can just fool around any way you like. Mary Jane and I are going to build a fire for the coffee her father and I will be sure to want."
Flatrock was a rough, wooded spot, most unusual for that region; and right through the middle of the woods a pretty little creek ran tumbling over some broad, flat rocks.

And so they came back from the picnic at Flatrock. "Would you speak to her, doctor?" asked Mrs. Merrill anxiously. It was eight o'clock the next morning.
