"I guess Ri-Ri's no good at a climb," she said. "This little old mountain must have got her." "Oh, Johnny's strong right arm will do the work," he returned indifferently. "But they ought to be here now. You don't suppose they missed the way?" Mrs. Blair, overhearing, suggested, and turned to look down the steep path that they had come. Bob scouted the idea of such a mishap.
But Ri-Ri's heelless shoes were rubber soled, and she was both fearless and alert. And though the last leap was too long for her, for she landed in the shallows with splashing ankles, she had scarcely a down glance for them. Her worried eyes were searching the green uplands before them. Secretly she was troubled at Johnny's instant choice of way.
She twisted for a view and the movement drew Ruth's glance along her lithe figure. "We ought to have cut two inches more off," she declared, and now Ri-Ri's glance fled down to the satin slippers with their crossed ribbons, to the narrow, silken ankles, to the slender legs above the ankles. It seemed to her an utterly limitless exhibition. And Ruth was proposing two more inches!
And then, when it was drawn so tight that it did not seem possible to endure any more, Johnny Byrd appeared at Ri-Ri's side, conscious-eyed and boyishly embarrassed, but managing an offhand smile. "And is this the very first mountain you've ever climbed?" he demanded banteringly. Gladness rushed back into the girl. She raised a face that sparkled.
