I have to finish getting ready first. Then I will come and
live with you and you can help me use it. You won't mind, will you?"
"I want you to use it," he said. "I'm proud of it. I will take you
wherever you wish to go, I will do whatever you want. I'll get a home
in Denver, and just manage the business from the outside. I can live
the way you like to live and do the things you like to have done;
Connie, I know I can."
Connie reached slowly for her hand-bag. From it she took a tiny
note-book and tossed it in the fire.
"Literary material," she explained, smiting at him. "I can not write
what I have learned in Fort Morgan. I can only live it."
CHAPTER XXIII
THE SUNNY SLOPE
After Connie's visit, when she had returned to Chicago to finish
learning how to write her knowledge, David and Carol with little Julia
settled down in the cottage among the pines, and the winter came and
the mountains were huge white monuments over the last summer that had
died. Later in the winter a nurse came in to take charge of the little
family, and although Carol was afraid of her, she obeyed with childish
confidence whenever the nurse gave directions.
"I feel fine to-day," David said to her one morning.
