Wally Nourse had let the cat out of the bag the day before. Wally was one of those well-meaning but too talkative youths such as we have all met. But Dick played the game perfectly this morning, descending from the carriage—Mr. Bates was one of the very few persons left in Leonardville who could afford an automobile and still drove horses—with an expression of questioning surprise. He realized that too much surprise would suggest that he knew the assemblage was there to do him honour; and if, as some said, Dick was conceited, at least he was always careful not to seem so.","brand":"Bronson Tweed Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47102108467440,"sku":"2940150633728","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150633728_p0.jpg?v=1763750178","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150633728","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
