Leslie carried a small package, which she laid in Julia Cloud's lap.
Allison and Leslie were back within the time they had set, looking very meek and satisfied.
Leslie's eyes danced with her dimples as Julia Cloud appealed to her to stop this extravagance.
"Now," said Leslie as the meal drew to a close, "we must get to work. It's half-past two, and the stores close at half-past five.
Oh, we're going to run you to beat the band!" laughed Leslie, and jumped down from her perch to hug and squeeze the breath out of Julia Cloud.
Allison landed them at a big department store, and guided his aunt to the trunk department with instructions to stay there until he and Leslie came back.
