So it was going to be this evening! Then he should know in a little while! He longed to go downstairs and see what was or had been going on; but Blue sat as if he expected to stay. So Doodles settled himself comfortably for a chat.
“What do you s’pose Daphne told me this morning?”
“Give it up! What?”
“She says she’s going to marry you when she is twenty!”
“Crackety!” exploded Blue.
“You don’t mind, do you?” Doodles’s tone was anxious.
“Mind what?”
“Why, that! You’d just as lief marry her, wouldn’t you?”
Blue’s face was bright with fun. “Maybe I would, and maybe I wouldn’t. It’s too soon to decide.”
“Well, she wants to, because you found her and took her away from those dreadful folks. She thinks you are the nicest boy that ever was!”
