‘How did she display her liking?’
‘She sat on his knee several times. She kissed him, and he kissed her.’
‘That was before the company?’
‘It was.’
‘Did he make any remark, or did she? I mean, any remark calculated to engender a belief that this spooning was serious, and not a mere flirtation, the result of a spree?’
‘Well—I—I heard him say two or three times, “Mag, old girl, I’m going to marry you.”’
‘He had been drinking then, I suppose?’
‘He had, a good deal.’
‘And what did she reply?’
‘As near as I mind, she said, “All right, old man. We are just suited to each other, and we’ll make a match of it.”’
