When Miss Roberta returned to the house she found Junius Keswick sitting on a bench on the porch. She went over to him, and took a seat at the other end of the bench. So your gentleman is gone, he said. Yes, she answered, but only for the present. He is coming back in the morning.
What for? asked Keswick, a little abruptly. Miss Roberta took off her hat, for there was no need of a hat on a shaded porch, and holding it by the ribbons, she let it gently slide down toward her feet. He is coming, she said, speaking rather slowly, to take a walk with me, and I know very well that when we have reached some place where he is sure there is no one to hear him, he is going to tell me that he loves me; that he did not intend to speak quite so soon, but that circumstances have made it impossible for him to restrain himself any longer, and he will ask me to be his wife.
And what are you going to say to him? asked Keswick. I don’t know, replied Roberta, her eyes fixed upon the hat which she still held by its long ribbons.
