Chapter XIII
A PLEASURE RIDE WITH MISS STEVENS The morning train was due at ten o'clock. At ten o'clock also Sam was due at Hollis Creek to take his long deferred drive with Miss Stevens. It was a slight conflict, her engagement, but the solution to that was very easy. As early in the morning as he dared, Sam called up Miss Josephine. "I've some glorious news," he said hopefully.
