[Laddie by Gene Stratton Porter]@TWC D-Link bookLaddie CHAPTER I 57/58
"I'd love to have you, but it would be best for you to change their opinion, before father or mother sees you on their land." "Perhaps it would," said the Princess.
"I'll wait here until you reach the fence and then you call and I'll know you are in the open and feel comfortable." "I am most all over being afraid now," I told her. Just to show her, I walked to the creek, climbed the gate and went down the lane.
Almost to the road I began wondering what I could do with the letter, when looking ahead I saw Laddie coming. "I was just starting to find you.
You've been an age, child," he said. I held up the letter. "No one is looking," I said, "and this won't go in your pocket." You should have seen his face. "Where did you get it ?" he asked. I told him all about it.
I told him everything--about the hair that maybe was stronger than she thought, and that she was going to change father's and mother's opinions, and that I put the red flower on, but she left it; and when I was done Laddie almost hugged the life out of me.
