Did Virginia show you all the plans and specifications for building ?" "We looked over a good many.

It is astonishing to me where Virginia has managed to get all her ideas about this work." "Virginia knows more now about Arnold Toynbee and East End London and Institutional Church work in America than a good many professional slum workers.

She has been spending nearly all summer in getting information." Rollin was beginning to feel more at ease as they talked over this coming work of humanity.

It was safe, common ground.
"What have you been doing all summer?
I have not seen much of you," Rachel suddenly asked, and then her face warmed with its quick flush of tropical color as if she might have implied too much interest in Rollin or too much regret at not seeing him oftener.
"I have been busy," replied Rollin briefly.
"Tell me something about it," persisted Rachel.

"You say so little.
Have I a right to ask ?" She put the question very frankly, turning toward Rollin in real earnest.
"Yes, certainly," he replied, with a graceful smile.
