"I don't think we're going to stay for dinner to-day," she said half regretfully. "I know your apple tarts, Lee Chang--they are delicious." The fat Chinaman closed the screen door and went on with his pastry making. From time to time, as he passed from the table to the oven, he glanced out. Betty Gordon still stood watching the horse.
