True to their resolve, the young heads of the High Valley Ranch1 rode together to St. Helen's next day,—ostensibly to get their letters; in reality to call on their late departed guests. They talked amicably2 as they went; but unconsciously each was watching the other's mood and speech. To like the same girl makes young men curiously3 observant of each other.
A disappointment was in store for them. They had taken it for granted that Clover would be as disengaged and as much at their service as she had been in the valley; and lo! she sat on the piazza4 with a knot of girls about her, and a young man in an extremely "fetching" costume of snow-white duck, with a flower in his button-hole, was bending over her chair, and talking in a low voice of something which seemed of interest. He looked provokingly cool and comfortable to the dusty horsemen, and very much at home. Phil, who lounged against the piazza-rail opposite, dispensed5 an enormous and meaning wink6 at his two friends as they came up the steps.
Clover jumped up from her chair, and gave them a most cordial reception.
"How delightful7 to see you again so soon!" she said. Then she introduced them to a girl in pink and a girl in blue as Miss Perham and Miss Blanchard, and they shook hands with Marian Chase, whom they already knew, and lastly were presented to Mr. Wade9, the youth in white. The three young men eyed one another with a not very friendly scrutiny10, just veiled by the necessary outward politeness.
"Then you will be all ready for Thursday,—and your brother too, of course,—and my mother will stop for you at half-past ten on her way down," they heard him say. "Miss Chase will go with the Hopes. Oh, yes; there will be plenty of room. No danger about that. We're almost sure to have good weather too. Good-morning. I'm so glad you enjoyed the roses."
