"Hurry along there with fifty-seven, Delehanty! Heyman's got to see the line and catch that six-two Chicago flier." Miss Delehanty fell into pose, her profile turned back over one shoulder. "Tell him to chew a clove; it's good for breathless haste," she said, disappearing through portieres into the show-room.
He steadied the small red vehicle and pointed it for Earth. He added: "I'm firing a six-two solid-fuel job, Chief. Counting three. Three two one." His mount vanished in rocket fumes. But after six seconds at two gravities acceleration the rocket burned out. The Chief had fired a matching rocket. They were miles apart, but speeding Earthward on very nearly identical courses.
Olive Treadwell was handsomer than ever, for her gray hair softened her features and the years had added just enough flesh to her bones to insure grace, not angularity. "I am going back on the six-two train, Mr. Markham, if you will permit your coachman to take me to the station. Lans and I have a very important engagement this evening." Levi gave the order and handed his visitor to a chair.
While he said this I had time to study his face, and also to glance at the young woman, and I saw that he must, indeed, be in great trouble. I also saw that the young woman was pretty and modest and that she, also, was in great distress. I at once agreed to help him, provided I should not be made to miss the six-thirty train, for I saw I was already too late for the six-two. "Good!" he cried.
I could read as much in her narrowed eyes as she tried for aplomb with her guests. My own leave I took unobtrusively. I knew our strangely missing guest was to depart by the six-two train, and I strolled toward the station. A block away I halted, waiting. It had been a time of waiting. The moments passed. I heard the whistle of the approaching train.
Cherry's skirt brushed the gold dust from masses and masses of buttercups. The tennis was over, but just over; Peter and Alix were sitting, still panting, on the rail of the wide, open porch, and shouted as the others came up. "You missed doubles!" called Alix. "The grandest we ever did! Doubles with the Thompsons and three sets straight to us six-two, six-two, and six-two again! They've gone.
If it happens again that you get rung up supper-time, I " "It was Leon Kessler, pop; he didn't leave on the six-two. Can you beat it? Down at the station he got to thinking of me and turned back. Oh, my golly! how the boys love me!" She was jumping now on the tips of her toes, her black curls bouncing. "You don't tell me!" said Mr. Goldstone.
It happened that I had worked into the finals of the tournament but that day I wasn't playing very well. I was beaten in the first set, six-two. What was worse I didn't care a hang if I was. I had found myself feeling like this about a lot of things during those last few months.
Once, not so long ago, Elsie couldn't have imagined herself wanting to go back and throw her arms about her and tell her she wished she had understood and loved her long before. And Katy dear old Katy! Turning away, she almost ran. She met no one in the out-of-the-way path she chose, and she was to take the six-two train for Boston, which Enderby people rarely used. The station stood on a hill.
I knew I had still half an hour before my six-two train, and I was not unwilling to do Lemuel a favour, so I went back to my office as he desired, and waited there until he appeared, which was not until he had taken all the tenants down in his elevator. Then he opened the door and came in.
