"Was it Mr. Welland?"
"Yes."
"And who did he marry? Is she a Northern woman, and a staunch unionist?"
"Well, I can't imagine who she can be."
"Why he married Miss Henson, who sent you those beautiful flowers."
"Why, Louis, is it possible? Why she is a colored woman."
"I know."
"But how came he to marry her?"
"For the same reason I married you, because he loved her?"
