"Hullo, Keith, how do you do? We're awfully glad to see you out again." The boy started violently, but did not turn his head--except to Susan. "Susan, I--I'm tired. I want to go in now," he begged a little wildly, under his breath. "Keith, it's Mazie--Mazie and Dorothy," caroled the high-pitched voice again. But Keith, with a tug so imperative that Susan had no choice but to obey, turned his head quite away as he groped for the door to go in. In the hall he drew a choking breath. "Susan, I don't want to go out there to walk any more--NOT ANY MORE! I don't want to go anywhere where anybody'll see me." "Shucks!" Susan's voice was harshly unsteady again. "See you, indeed! Why, we're goin' to be so proud of you we'll want the whole world to see you. You jest wait An' see the fate That I've cut out for you. We'll be so proud We'll laugh aloud, An' you'll be laughin', too! |
