The
raindrops
sparkled
on
her
shining
hair
;
its
loosened
rings
curled
around
her
neck
and
forehead
.
Her
cheeks
were
flushed
,
her
eyes
big
and
starry
.
Her
companion
looked
down
at
her
admiringly
.
She
felt
herself
blushing
under
his
gaze
.
Who
could
he
be
?
Why
,
there
was
a
bit
of
the
Redmond
white
and
scarlet
pinned
to
his
coat
lapel
.
Yet
she
had
thought
she
knew
,
by
sight
at
least
,
all
the
Redmond
students
except
the
Freshmen
.
And
this
courtly
youth
surely
was
no
Freshman
.
"
We
are
schoolmates
,
I
see
,
"
he
said
,
smiling
at
Anne
's
colors
.
"
That
ought
to
be
sufficient
introduction
.
My
name
is
Royal
Gardner
.
And
you
are
the
Miss
Shirley
who
read
the
Tennyson
paper
at
the
Philomathic
the
other
evening
,
are
n't
you
?
"
"
Yes
;
but
I
can
not
place
you
at
all
,
"
said
Anne
,
frankly
.
"
Please
,
where
DO
you
belong
?

I
feel
as
if
I
did
n't
belong
anywhere
yet
.
I
put
in
my
Freshman
and
Sophomore
years
at
Redmond
two
years
ago
.
I
've
been
in
Europe
ever
since
.
Now
I
've
come
back
to
finish
my
Arts
course
.
"
"
This
is
my
Junior
year
,
too
,
"
said
Anne
.
"
So
we
are
classmates
as
well
as
collegemates
.
I
am
reconciled
to
the
loss
of
the
years
that
the
locust
has
eaten
,
"
said
her
companion
,
with
a
world
of
meaning
in
those
wonderful
eyes
of
his

The
rain
came
steadily
down
for
the
best
part
of
an
hour
.
But
the
time
seemed
really
very
short
.
When
the
clouds
parted
and
a
burst
of
pale
November
sunshine
fell
athwart
the
harbor
and
the
pines
Anne
and
her
companion
walked
home
together
.
By
the
time
they
had
reached
the
gate
of
Patty
's
Place
he
had
asked
permission
to
call
,
and
had
received
it
.
Anne
went
in
with
cheeks
of
flame
and
her
heart
beating
to
her
fingertips
.
Rusty
,
who
climbed
into
her
lap
and
tried
to
kiss
her
,
found
a
very
absent
welcome
.
Anne
,
with
her
soul
full
of
romantic
thrills
,
had
no
attention
to
spare
just
then
for
a
crop-eared
pussy
cat
.
That
evening
a
parcel
was
left
at
Patty
's
Place
for
Miss
Shirley
.
It
was
a
box
containing
a
dozen
magnificent
roses
.
Phil
pounced
impertinently
on
the
card
that
fell
from
it
,
read
the
name
and
the
poetical
quotation
written
on
the
back
.
"
Royal
Gardner
!
"
she
exclaimed
.
"
Why
,
Anne
,
I
did
n't
know
you
were
acquainted
with
Roy
Gardner
!
"
