"Jean planned it all; even this." Mrs. Keap stared at him in horrified silence. "You do love me, Roberta?" Chapin undertook to remove the girl's hands from her face, when a slight cough in the hall behind caused him to turn suddenly in time to see Berkeley Fresno passing the open door. "There! You see!" Mrs. Keap's face was tragic. "You see!"
"You see, he'll discover the truth." "Does he know you are here?" "No. I intended to surprise him. I was jealous. I couldn't bear to think of his being here with other girls men are so deceitful! That's why I consented to act as chaperon to Helen. And now to think that I should have met my fate in Jack Chapin!" "I see. You want me to break the news to Culver." "No! no!" Mrs. Keap was aghast.
"Those college flags give it just the right touch. And see the cosey-corner!" Glass regained his voice sufficiently to murmur, sarcastically, "Say, ain't this a swell-looking drum?" "We've used every bit of bunting on the ranch," said Jean. "See the Mexican shawls!" Mrs. Keap added. "And look," cried Miss Blake, "I brought you my prayer-rug!"
Then she teased: "But you admit that my selection of a chaperon was excellent, don't you, Jack?" "Mrs. Keap and I are the best of friends," Jack averred, with supreme dignity. "I'm not in the market, and a man doesn't marry a widow, anyhow. It's too old and experienced a beginning." "Nonsense! Roberta Keap is only twenty-three. Why, she hardly knew her husband, even!
It was shortly afterward that she appeared in the gymnasium doorway, and cried, in an accusing voice: "Well, Mr. Speed!" "Yes, quite well." "You traitor!" "You modern Borgia! Didn't you go and tell Helen everything?" "Didn't you promise to stop Culver?" "I did. I had him thrown in jail at Omaha. What more could I do?" "You did try? Honestly?" Mrs. Keap allowed her indignation to abate slightly.
I can't hit where I look when people are talking." "Why don't you pin them up?" queried Miss Blake, sweetly. "A hammer is so dangerous." Mrs. Keap mumbled something, but her enunciation was indistinct, owing to the fact that her thumb was in her mouth. Helen finished tying a bow of ribbon upon the leg of a stool, patted it into proper form, then said: "It looks cheerful."
Keap, who is looking after us a bit while mother is away. Roberta, may I present Mr. Covington's friend, and ask you to be good to him?" "Don't forget me," said Fresno, pushing into the light. "Mr. Berkeley Fresno, of Leland Stanford University." "Hello, Frez!" Speed thrust out his hand warmly. Not so the Californian. He replied, with hauteur: "Fresno!
Keap turned her eyes anxiously toward the training-quarters, and it was patent that she had not counted upon this encounter. Noting her lack of ease, Fresno said hopefully: "If you are going for a walk, I'll sing for you at some other time." "Is Mr. Speed up yet?" "Up and gone. He'll be back soon." Then Mrs.
Keap that I would, but " Speed lost himself abruptly in speculation, for he did not know exactly how to manage this unexpected complication. Of one thing only was he certain: it would require some thought. "Say, Wally, suppose Covington don't come?" "Then I shall sprain my ankle," said the other. "Hello!
"I didn't know you two were acquainted." Mrs. Keap flushed. "He told me all about you long ago. You wear all the athletic clothes, you know all the talk, you have tried to make the team a dozen times, but you are not even a substitute. You are merely the Varsity cheer-leader. Culver calls you 'the head-yeller." "Columbus has discovered our continent!" said Speed.
