"Where is there to walk to?" she asked. "These towns are all alike."
"I don't mean just a stroll around the town," Rose said. "Look here!
I'll show you." She pointed from the window. "Across that bridge (they
were playing one of the Mississippi River towns) and up to the top of
that hill on the other side."
"Gee!" said Dolly. "That's miles."
"Do you good," said Rose.
"Are you going there anyway?" asked Dolly.
Rose nodded. "You'd better come along," she said. By turning on her full
powers of persuasion, she might, she felt, have pulled Dolly along with
her; swept her off and begun the reconquest she knew she ought to make.
But somehow her will failed her. Dolly could come if she liked.
Dolly didn't refuse very decisively, but she watched Rose's preparations
for departure without making any of her own. It wasn't until Rose, at
the door, turned back to renew the invitation for the last time, that
she said impatiently: "Oh, go along! I'll take a nap, I guess."
So Rose set out by herself.
