A pink and blue sunrise glowed in the east but Ken had eyes only for the gate far below him which led out onto the from the pasture Road. She would come County through that gate if she came at all. He was just waiting for the moment when he and Carey would be tO' gether alone. He sank back on the turf, laid one arm across his eyes and, in his She mind, began the proposal. would know, of course; she would meet him halfway; it would be easy they would just go into each other's arms. It went on he didn't know just how long it went on, but suddenly he sprang to his feet. There she was, standing before him in her slim grey jodhpurs and white shirt. Oh, what a climb! She flung herself down where he had been lying. said You found note, my Ken, reseating himself, and he had difficulty in not stuttering. Of course! Under my door! Im here, arent I? And Carey lay back on the hillside and looked up into the branches of the tree. Why do you call it the Monkey Tree? I dont think its a monkey tree. 'We call them that.

But you came anyway!" Carey nodded but with a little chagrin at herself. It was Uncle Beaver who stood up to her. I didn't dare. Ken lay there, silently, while Carey chatted about the episode. He felt quite desperate, because, no matter what turn the conversation took, it did not seem to get any closer to the proposal. Around them the colors had changed. Brilliant green lay upon the hillside, the air was golden, the puik clouds were now puffs of snowy cotton. The hour was passing. The day the last day was here! How could Carey be so oblivious? Her face turned to him as he leaned closer, hardly knowing what he was doing, and he was aware, for a second, of the excitement in her eyes before he was too close to see them. When Carey at last pulled away, she sat up and took a scrap of blue linen and pressed it to her eyes. I don't know why Im crying!" Ken sprang up and walked off a little distance. He stood there a few moments, then returned and flung himself down beside her and held out his arms. A deep sigh went through him they clasped each other closely. At last a sort of peace came to both of them. He held one of her hands, drawing it over his eyes and cheeks. One of her fingers traced the line of his eyebrow. Then across his cheekbone. That small finger was experimenting with this new intimacy. Now and then they turned their two heads until their lips just lightly touched. Carey, he said and his voice was a little husky, Ive been waiting so long for this.
