"I expect Ruth and Mr. King will be getting married some of these times. She hasn't had anything to do with Mr. Golter since she quit work at the bank."
"And what's more, Clara, I don't want a girl of mine to have anything to do with that kind of stock."
"Golter has money, and that means a lot these days," Clara commented, and then added, "but Mr. King has picked up wonderfully in the last few months."
"Harold King is a man," said Babcock.
Footsteps were heard on the porch. "There they come, now," said Clara.
The door was thrown open and Ruth and Harold entered.
"Well, Miss Babcock," said her father, smiling, "you have returned."
"No," she answered, "Miss Babcock has not returned and never will return. Allow me to introduce my husband."
"What, you're not married!" exclaimed Aunt Clara.
"Yes, didn't I tell you that a very interesting affair was to take place at Zala tonight?"
