Chapter XXXVI
GARRISON'S VALUED FRIEND Dorothy, catching up the precious will, had retreated from Theodore's advance. She made no effort to greet him, even with so much as a nod. "I thought I might possibly find you both, and save a little time," said Robinson, striding in boldly, with no sign of removing his hat. "Seems I hit it off about right." "Charmingly," said Garrison.
