and dessert--a replica of the first
meal they had eaten together.
While it was being prepared they

would come afterward. Tom now
told of himself. what he had beer
doing on the ranch. There's q coli
that | intended to name for you
but it didn't fit, so I called him
'Tomboy.' If you don't like the
name I'll change it."
"Oh, that's a lovely name for q
horse! 'Tomboy!' Is he one?'
