CHAPTER VII 

Tun work in the ironing-room slipped off, but the three days until Wednesday night were very long. She hummed over the fancy starch that flew under the iron at an astounding rate. 

"I can't see how you do it," Mary admired. "You'll make thirteen or fourteen this week at that rate." 

Saxon laughed, and in the steam from the iron she saw dancing golden letters that spelled WEDNESDAY. 

"What do you think of Billy?" Mary asked. 

"I like him," was the frank answer. 

"Well, don't let it go farther than that." 

"I will if I want to," Saxon retorted gaily. 

"Better not," came the warning. "You'll only make trouble for yourself. He ain't marryin'. Many a girl's found that out. They just throw themselves at his head, too." 

"I'm not going to throw myself at him, or any other man." 

"Just thought I'd tell you," Mary concluded. "A word to the wise." 

Saxon had become grave. 

"He's not... not..." she began, than looked the significance of the question she could not complete. 

"Oh, nothin' like that--though there's nothin' to stop him. He's straight, all right, all right. But he just won't fall for anything in skirts. He dances, an' runs around, an' has a good time, an' beyond that--nitsky. A lot of 'em's got fooled on him. I bet you there's a dozen girls in love with him right now. An' he just goes on turnin' 'em down. There was Lily Sanderson--you know her. You seen her at that Slavonic picnic last summer at Shellmound--that tall, nice-lookin' blonde that was with Butch Willows?"  QUESTIONS:
