"Then your business is done?" I said, in some surprise.
His business could hardly have any connection with Annas, in that case.
It must be real business--something that concerned his father.
"Yes, Cary; my business was finished last night, so I was just in time
to come with you." And the look of fun came into his eyes again.
"Oh, I am glad!" said I. "I wondered how my Aunt Kezia would manage all
by herself."
"Had you three made up your minds to be particularly naughty?" asked he,
laughing.
"Now, Ephraim!" said I.
"Sounded like it," he replied. "Well, Cary, are you glad to go home?"
"Well, yes--I think--I am," answered I.
"Then certainly I think you are not."
"Well. I am glad for some reasons."
"And not for others. Yes, I understand that. And I guess one of the
reasons--you are sorry to leave Miss Keith."
