Suddenly his bright es were very gentle. “Now, I just come here to sit sometimes. It’s the only place I know where people who want something from you never think of looking for you.” “1 like to sit here sometimes, too,” Janet volunteered. “It’s so—so restful.” “Didn’t know young people ever thought of resting. They seem always to be rushing around in cars from where they are to where they ain’t.” Now that the foliage was less dense, the white house on the opposite hillside stood out in all its beautiful symmetry across a ravine ruddy and gold with fallen leaves. Janet looked over toward it a little wistfully. The old gentleman followed the direction of her glance, and observed, “Nice location over there, isn’t it?” “I like it,” Janet said. “What do you think of the house?” Ts “Looks as if it had grown there. _ Just the way a house should iook.

The old gentleman carefully cracked a peanut, and offered the meat to a squirrel that was clinging to the leg of his pants. ~~ “1ijke to see the plan?” he
