Kit hugs John excitedly after he reveals his feelings for Mercy.

"John! Why should you want to talk to Mercy?"
His eyes twinkled. "Why do you think I come so often?"
"But I thought--we all thought--I mean--"
"It has always been Mercy, from the very beginning. Didn't you guess that?"
"Oh John!" In a burst of incredulous joy Kit flung both arms rapturously about his neck. With a startled glance up the road, John tactfully freed himself. His very ears were pink, but his eyes were shining down at her.
