The girl, who was watching a wiry little bay horse contentedly crop grass that grew In straggling whisps about the fence posts, looked up and showed an even row of white teeth as she smiled. I dont think we re going to stay for dinner to-day, she said half regretfully. I know your apple tarts, Lee Chang they are delicious.
