"What time is Hannah coming?" he asked.
"I hardly know," Lucy replied; "the boy who stays here to do the outdoor
work is to bring her as soon as she can leave her father, who will have
no one with him in his room during her absence. He is very anxious to
see Grey, but I doubt if he will even let him into the bedroom."
During this conversation Grey had listened intently, and now he
exclaimed;
"I have it. My dinner will taste better if I see grandpa first, and show
him my Alpenstock, with all those names burned on it. I mean to drive
over after Aunt Hannah myself. It will be such fun to surprise them
both."
"Grey, are you crazy to think of going out in this storm?" Mrs. Jerrold
exclaimed.
But Grey persisted, and, pointing to the window, said:
"It is not snowing half as fast as it did; and look, there's a bit of
blue sky. I can go, can't I, Aunt Lucy?"
"Ye-es, if Tom is willing," Lucy said, a little doubtfully; for she
stood somewhat in awe of Tom, who did not like to harness oftener than
was necessary.
