"Leave your jit at the front gate and drive home in Shirley's car. I'll arrange matters with her."
"Well, it isn't necessary, although it's good form in a small town like Sequoia, where everybody knows everybody else." "I thought so," Moira murmured thoughtfully. "I'll ask Miss Sumner to come with us. Mr. Ogilvy won't mind the extra expense, I'm sure." "He'll be delighted," Bryce assured her maliciously. "Ask Miss Sumner, by all means."

Remember, lad, I never had a boyhood; I never had a college education, and the only real travel I have ever had was when I worked my way around Cape Horn as a foremast hand, and all I saw then was water and hardships; all I've seen since is my little world here in Sequoia and in San Francisco."
