Onabasha with him to show him where the doctor lives and help him get fixed so he can start back this evening. It will take about two hours. May I go?"
"Of course, you must go," she said, laughing lightly. "You can't leave your sister. Why don't you go back to Chicago with them? There is plenty of room, and you could have a fine visit."
"I'll be back in just two hours," said Ammon. "While I am gone, you be thinking over what we were talking of when the folks came."
"Miss Comstock can go with us just as well as not, said Polly. "That back seat was made for three, and I can sit on your lap."
"Come on! Do come!" urged Ammon instantly, and Tom Levering joined him, but Henderson and Edith silently waited at the gate.
"No, thank you," laughed Elnora. "That would crowd you, and it's warm and dusty. We will say good-bye here."
She offered her hand to all of them, and when she came to Ammon she gave him one long steady look in the eyes, then shook hands with him also.
