“Of course I did not mean to leave out Seth here, and—”
“No, by gracious, it wouldn’t do, especially when you recollect how nice it was that me and Graham gave ’em the slip.”
“You, and who?” eagerly asked Ina.
“Me and Mr. Graham—that fellow standing there—the one that has come out here to marry you. Haven’t you heard of him?”
Ina stepped forward, and scrutinized the face before her.
“Don’t you remember me?” asked Graham, pleasantly.
