"Go on, we'll be good," said Migwan hastily.
"Tell us some more about the light-haired stranger. Please tell us when he is coming into her life, so we can be there to see." "He has already come," announced Hinpoha, after thoughtfully squinting into the bottle. "News to me," laughed Sahwah, amused at the seriousness with which Hinpoha delivered her revelations. "Oh, I know who it is," she continued, giggling. "It's the brakeman. He was a Swede, with the yellowest hair you ever saw. He was awfully skinny, too. He was very polite, and told me everything he knew, and then went away to find out some more." Migwan and Gladys shouted; Hinpoha pouted and snatched up the bottle, shaking it with offended vigor, setting the petals whirling madly and breaking up the "cast" of Sahwah's fortune. "There was another man, too," she announced, with a don't-you-wish-you'd-waited air, "but I won't tell you about him now. He was awfully queer, too; he was there twice, and once he was dark and once he was light!" "How do you know it was the same one?" inquired Gladys curiously. "Because it _was_," replied Hinpoha knowingly. "Maybe he faded," suggested Sahwah, giggling again. |
