“Sweet companionship—”
“Heaven on earth, Eveley, heaven on earth.”
“Something to live for—”

“Nolan, if you do not keep still and pay attention, I shall stop talking and let you propose,—right before Marie,—and then where will you be?”
“Married, I hope.”
So Eveley decided there was no use to try to talk sense with Nolan, but she arranged to call for him at eight o’clock the next morning to take him to Eileen’s and show him the blue Red-Riding-Hoods and the toys.
As she left the house to keep her engagement with Nolan, she was surprised to see Mrs. Severs starting out, for Mrs. Severs was not used to being out so early.
“Why, little Bride, whither away?” laughed Eveley.
