Anne’s bundles on top of those that Lynn had deposited in the back of the car filled it completely.
“Anne, what’d you have done that night if my car had been as full as it is now?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” Anne wailed at the very thought.
“Would we dare go . . . No, we wouldn’t. Anne, you’re playing he—havoc with my will power. . . . Get in, girl. Aren’t you going back with me? Home? . . . Don’t sit so faraway. It’ll be cold, and you have my fleece-lined coat.”
“I’m afraid to be happy,” she whispered to herself. And all the rest of the way down into the basin and across to and beyond the camp she was silent.

Presently Lynn could no longer see the car from his window. But he heard it come on and stop. The snap of a car door and the sound of a girl’s quick high-pitched voice sent Lynn’s heart thumping into his throat.
Then followed a nervous rapping on his door. Lynn pulled it open with a sweep. A fashionably attired young woman, with blond hair waving superbly under her little hat and blue eyes darkly expectant, stood before his threshold.
“Biff! How perfectly fine you look—you big bronzed giant,” she said with a dazzling smile.
