The cheerful frame of mind came soon, but it was nearly a month before / that letter was written. Unlike the others which preceded it, this one / was not thrust under the rubber band that held the many missives from / "The Little Vicar." It was slipped into Phil's pocket; for the package, / with all the rest of the contents of the private drawer in his desk, / reposed in the bottom of his trunk. His work in Mexico was done and he / was starting back to the States.
He had expected to buy his ticket straight through to New York, and / retrace his steps as far as Lloydsboro Valley later. Rob Moore had / written him that Lloyd was arranging for a house-party during the / Thanksgiving holidays, and that he and Alex Shelby and Mary Ware were to / be included among the guests, and for him to make his plans accordingly.
