Bruce knows you're about through with it; I heard him say so to Elinor yesterday." "What!" cried Jen, "do you know why David has gone to town?" "Now we can go on our spree with clear minds," said Judith, as they sat down to breakfast in the sunny sitting-room. "It's a perfect day and Rockham will look too sweet for anything.".
