Mary agreed that it would be very well, indeed.
"I confess that I have certain ambitions," said Aunt Caroline. "I would like to have William extend his circle somewhat, and among people whom it would be a very fine thing for him to know."
Mary carelessly approved that, too.
"It would be wonderful, my dear, if we could have Mrs. Rokeby-Jones as a guest."
Mary glanced sharply at Aunt Caroline. She was suddenly trembling with a premonition.
"But do we know Mrs. Rokeby-Jones?" she asked.
Aunt Caroline smiled confidently.
"You do, my dear."
To which, of course, Mary was forced to nod an assent.
"I believe it would be all right for you to speak to her about it," added Aunt Caroline. "She thinks so highly of you that I am sure she would not consider it strange in the least. And besides, there is always the Marshall name."
