Who's to propose Bob if we don't? I want to go awfully; but I wouldn't disappoint Bob for a good deal, now he is willing to come." And Frank sprang off his post as if anxious to flee temptation, for it _was_ very pleasant to go singing, up hill and down dale, in the spring moonlight, with--well, the fellows of his set.
