Part 29 (1/1)
A little way down the road she turned and waved her hand, and he realized that if he were going to ment it would have to be done now So he mastered his embarrassment as best he could, raised his hand aardly to his lips and threw a kiss to Mary Temple!
He had scarcely turned and started after the little cavalcade when he stumbled into Roy
”I was just co to see where you were”
”Well, you took it, didn't you?” Roy added, as they walked along together
”Took what?”
”So for a service”
”I--I couldn't help myself,” said Tom
For answer Roy gave hiht and you broke the scout law after all--ya-a-ah-a!”
They walked a little way in silence
”Well, anyway,” Roy said, ”you can say you tossed it back, can't you?”
”'Twasn't her ball”
”It was much better than a ball”
”How do you knohat I took and what I tossed back?”
”A scout is observant,” said Roy
