"Ruth, Ruth," laughed her mother, "do you mean to say you have not heard a word of all my glowing compliments on your rowing?"
"And I was telling your mother that in all modesty I was considered a fine oar at my Alma Mater."
"And I hazarded the suggestion," added Mrs. Levice, "that as it is such a beautiful night, there is nothing to prevent your taking a little row, and then each can judge of the other's claim to superiority?"
"My claim has never been justly established," said Ruth. "I have never allowed any one to usurp my oars."
"As yet," corrected Kemp. "Then will you wrap something about you and come down to the river?"
"Certainly she will," answered her mother; "run in and get some wraps, Ruth."
"Of course; but considering Dr. Kemp's length, a third in your little boat will be the proverbial trumpery. Still, I suppose I can rely on you two crack oarsmen, though you know the slightest tremble in the boat in the fairest weather is likely to create a squall on my part."
