A JOLT ON A QUIET DAY
"There's just one thing that I keep thinking about on a day like
this," Dave Darrin sighed contentedly.
"What's that?" Tom Reade wanted to know. "Supper?"
Darrin turned, favoring Reade with a flash of disgust from his
large, dark eyes.
"I'm still waiting for the information," insisted Tom after a
short pause.
"You may as well wait," retorted Dave. "You wouldn't understand
what I feel, anyway. Any fellow who can keep his mind on supper,
on a grand June day like this-----"
"I imagine that you'll keep your mind on the meal when you reach
the table," predicted Tom, grinning.
"That'll be time enough," Dave rejoined. "But I'm not going to
profane the woods, on a perfect June day, by thinking of kitchen
odors."
"Say, aren't you feeling well?" asked Tom gravely.
"That's just the point, I guess," broke in Dick Prescott, with
a light laugh.
