"
she
began
now
,
most
artfully
,
"
I
mean
that
.
Really
,
I
do
.
Wo
n't
you
believe
me
?
But
I
will
next
week

Honest

Wo

I

Honest

a
lot

Wo

"
And
Clyde
,
thrilled
from
head
to
toe
by
this
latest
phase
of
her
artistry
,
agreed
that
he
would
.
And
once
more
he
began
to
smile
and
recover
his
gayety
.
And
by
the
time
they
reached
the
car
,
to
which
they
were
all
called
a
few
minutes
after
by
Hegglund
,
because
of
the
time
,
and
he
had
held
her
hand
and
kissed
her
often
,
he
was
quite
convinced
that
the
dream
he
had
been
dreaming
was
as
certain
of
fulfillment
as
anything
could
be
.
Oh
,
the
glory
of
it
when
it
should
come
true
!
For
the
major
portion
of
the
return
trip
to
Kansas
City
,
there
was
nothing
to
mar
the
very
agreeable
illusion
under
which
Clyde
rested
.
He
sat
beside
Hortense
,
who
leaned
her
head
against
his
shoulder
.
And
although
Sparser
,
who
had
waited
for
the
others
to
step
in
before
taking
the
wheel
,
had
squeezed
her
arm
and
received
an
answering
and
promising
look
,
Clyde
had
not
seen
that
.
But
the
hour
being
late
and
the
admonitions
of
Hegglund
,
Ratterer
and
Higby
being
all
for
speed
,
and
the
mood
of
Sparser
,
because
of
the
looks
bestowed
upon
him
by
Hortense
,
being
the
gayest
and
most
drunken
,
it
was
not
long
before
the
outlying
lamps
of
the
environs
began
to
show
.
For
the
car
was
rushed
along
the
road
at
break-neck
speed
.
At
one
point
,
however
,
where
one
of
the
eastern
trunk
lines
approached
the
city
,
there
was
a
long
and
unexpected
and
disturbing
wait
at
a
grade
crossing
where
two
freight
trains
met
and
passed
.
Farther
in
,
at
North
Kansas
City
,
it
began
to
snow
,
great
soft
slushy
flakes
,
feathering
down
and
coating
the
road
surface
with
a
slippery
layer
of
mud
which
required
more
caution
than
had
been
thus
far
displayed
.
It
was
then
half
past
five
.
Ordinarily
,
an
additional
eight
minutes
at
high
speed
would
have
served
to
bring
the
car
within
a
block
or
two
of
the
hotel
.
But
now
,
with
another
delay
near
Hannibal
Bridge
owing
to
grade
crossing
,
it
was
twenty
minutes
to
six
before
the
bridge
was
crossed
and
Wyandotte
Street
reached
.
And
already
all
four
of
these
youths
had
lost
all
sense
of
the
delight
of
the
trip
and
the
pleasure
the
companionship
of
these
girls
had
given
them
.
For
already
they
were
worrying
as
to
the
probability
of
their
reaching
the
hotel
in
time
.
The
smug
and
martinetish
figure
of
Mr.
Squires
loomed
before
them
all
.
"
Gee
,
if
we
do
n't
do
better
than
this
,
"
observed
Ratterer
to
Higby
,
who
was
nervously
fumbling
with
his
watch
,
"
we
're
not
goin
'
to
make
it
.
We
'll
hardly
have
time
,
as
it
is
,
to
change
.
"
Clyde
,
hearing
him
,
exclaimed
:
"
Oh
,
crickets
!
I
wish
we
could
hurry
a
little
.
Gee
,
I
wish
now
we
had
n't
come
to-day
.
It
'll
be
tough
if
we
do
n't
get
there
on
time
.
"
And
Hortense
,
noting
his
sudden
tenseness
and
unrest
,
added
:
"
Do
n't
you
think
you
'll
make
it
all
right
?
"
