To Garry's curt "ifs" he turned a deaf ear and sulked.
In the end they quarreled badly.

Garry, raging inwardly, went home in despair; and Kenny, after a tumultuous period of indecision, eliminated a floorful of luggage.

In the rebound he took less than he should.
He was ready to go when the door opened and the head of Sidney Fahr appeared.

Instantly his round eyes bulged with inquiry.
"Lord Almighty, Kenny," he said.

"You--you're not off for anywhere, are you ?" "I am," said Kenny.
Sid came in and closed the door.
"I--I can't believe it!" he sputtered.
"Don't!" said Kenny.
