Indeed it is pleasant--charming! The path lured me on and on, I couldn't stop. I ought to be at home this minute. Did you walk so far? Mrs. Burns told me you were here, and that you had been ill. I was very sorry, and I'm now so glad to see you looking so well.

You must enjoy Dr. Burns very much.

All right, Jack, we're off. One more call before luncheon, and it's blamed late, so get busy.
