"I shall wait in the car until it is over. Then I shall come sauntering up later on and wish you joy, etc., and Eveley need not know I had a thing to do with it. Just you get her promise, and I shall be witness for you. If she tries to back out we shall sue her for breach of promise." "All right," he decided suddenly. "We certainly can not submit to any such nonsense as this. Let's go." All the way to the Cloud Cote they kept up hearty agreement that the idea was utterly wild and preposterous, and that Nolan should never stand for it. As she stopped the car, two doors down where Eveley could not see from her window, Kitty said: "Arnold and I want to take a honeymoon trip to Yosemite after we are married, and we want you and Eveley to get married in time to go along. It is so much more fun when everybody's married." "Now, you fix it up with Eveley, and when you are through pull back the shade in the living-room, and I'll take it for a sign and come up to make my call." So Nolan went up the rustic steps to Eveley, and Kitty settled down in a corner of the car. For thirty minutes she chuckled gleefully to herself, but after half an hour she began to feel that he was decidedly slow. "I could be engaged to a dozen people in that time," she thought impatiently, "Oh, the poky thing. But I suppose they are waxing demonstrative, and he has forgotten me." She toyed restlessly with the keys and screws on the car, still watching the black window in the Cloud Cote with only the faint gleam of light from behind. "An hour," she cried at last furiously. "If that isn't the limit! I have a notion to go right home, and let him settle it as best he can--but I do want to see how Eveley takes it. Oh, well, I shall give him fifteen minutes more, and then if he has not signaled I'll go up and see for myself." So she waited another uneasy quarter of an hour, and then banged stormily out of the car and up the rustic steps. Her sharp tap brought a sudden scurry and scramble from within, but Kitty did not wait for a summons. She drew back the portières and climbed in, uninvited. Eveley was standing flushed and brilliant in the center of the room, trying to tuck up badly straying curls, and Nolan was adjusting himself to the davenport with an air of studied ease. "Well, Kitty," cried Eveley nervously. "Why didn't you phone you were coming over?" "You do not seem any too glad to see me," said Kitty rather peevishly, and then at their flushed and shining faces, she laughed. "My, how happy you look! Just like newlyweds--or something." "Yes--something," said Eveley. She flashed a questioning look at Nolan, and received a reassuring nod. "Nolan and I are engaged, Kitty." "Really," cried Kitty. "After all these years. How surprising." She put her arms around Eveley lovingly. "When did all this happen?" "Last night, coming down from Flynn Springs," said Eveley. "We--we had a whole car full of it."
