If the Master does go back across there to meet her I must tell him what I think about it . ''<br>Overhead in his room , Eric was walking about whistling .<br>Presently he came downstairs , thinking of the orchard , and the girl who would be waiting for him there .<br>As he crossed the little front entry he heard Mrs. Williamson 's voice calling to him .<br>`` Mr. Marshall , will you please come here a moment ? ''<br>He went out to the kitchen .<br>Mrs. Williamson looked at him deprecatingly .<br>There was a flush on her faded cheek and her voice trembled .<br>`` Mr. Marshall , I want to ask you a question .
Eric will whistle while he walks tomorrow.
