They started, discreetly enough, for the
railroad-station, but when they reached the river road Sandy drew
rein. Overhead the trees met in a long green arch, and along the
wayside white petals strewed the road. Below lay the river, dancing,
murmuring, beckoning.
"Let's not be going to the city to-day!" cried Sandy, impulsively.
"Let's be following the apple-blossoms wherever they lead."
"It's all the same wherever we are," said Ruth, in joyful freedom.
They turned into the road, and before them, through the trees, lay the
long stretch of smiling valley.
