you good. There wasn't anything else possible in the place." And without waiting for thanks, the car dropped back into its position of rear guard.
Evalani came out from the enveloping arm sufficiently to reach for one of the oranges, and although at first it seemed difficult for her to swallow even the juice, yet presently its subtle, stimulating quality began to have its effect and in a few minutes she nestled back again with a sigh of relief. "I feel so much better," she said, in a voice more nearly like her own.
"Well, don't talk!" said Dick, authoritatively. "Just rest until we get home."
"All right, only I want to know about things. Please tell me how you found me."
"Wait until we get home, dear," said Dick, coaxingly. "Just rest now, please."
"But it won't tire me to listen," pleaded Evalani. "It will tire me much more to worry and wonder."
"All right," Dick tightened his arm a little. "Do you happen to notice any perfume about where your head is resting?" he inquired.
Evalani sniffed, doubtfully. "Yes," she said, "I've kept thinking that I smelled mulang, but I supposed that it was because my mind was wandering."
"Nothing of the kind," declared Dick. "That blessed lei is right there inside of my coat, and has been there ever since I picked it up."
