This astonishing profession of indifference to the fascination of the football hero , indifference which Miss Barbara declared to be only make-believe , was made on a Saturday . The next day , as Mrs. Wyeth and Mary were on their way home from church , the former made an announcement . `` We are to have a guest , perhaps guests , at dinner this noon , '' she said . Sunday dinner at Mrs. Wyeth 's was served , according to New England custom , at one o'clock . `` Samuel , Mr. John Keith 's son , is to dine with us , '' continued Mrs. Wyeth . `` He may bring a college friend with him . You have met Samuel , have n't you , Mary ? ''
