“It would explain some things that I remember, too. And Ann, we would not be related, you know, though I think it would be all right for us to marry anyhow.”

“All right, but you will admit that I like to think of some consolation!”
“I haven’t an idea that it is true, Maury. Why worry? When you think best, report it to your father, as you said you would. That is my way. I’d go to headquarters.”
“Do you suppose that I can believe headquarters?”
“Did your father ever deceive you?”
“No,—I can’t say that Dad ever did. Mother, though, can get around anything.”
“I have found that out.”
“I want to get hold of Dad when Mother is not around. Perhaps this trip would be a good time.”
