“Well, I cannot, with two eyes.”
“Oh, but you will. Oh, she’ll try her prentice hand—and a red hand it is!—on you, of course!”
“How do she and Tito hit it off?”

“Perhaps. The old place, I suppose?”
“Yes; and Joseline and her father will have the house to themselves, and be able to make much of one another.”
“He seems immensely devoted,” said Dudley.
“Yes. He is full of sentiment, you know. There is, however, one drawback; she is a Catholic.”
“Well, I agree with the earl. It is something to be anything in the present day. Personally, I like a woman to have a religion.”
