noon
Jeff had tried very hard to be what Mildred had expected him to be for the last few days . He had even said tender nothings to Jean Roland and expressed an eager desire to see her in Louisville , where she was to visit before returning to Detroit . So flattering was his manner that the girl forgave him for his inattention during her stay at Buck Hill and was all smiles at the parting . The guests who did not leave by automobile took the noon trolley to Louisville . Among the latter was Tom Harbison . Mildred had rather hoped he would stay over Sunday at Buck Hill . He pleaded an engagement , however , but with melting eyes declared he would soon be back .
