He cast a quick look at the face in its cap. "No use to borrow trouble!" he responded lightly.... "I have some news for you!"
"For me!" A quick flush swept under the cap and subsided. "I hope it's good news," she said tranquilly.
"Yes—It's good for you.... You'll think it's good some day! My son is going to be married." He leaned back to watch the effect.
She nodded. "We talked about that yesterday."
"But it hadn't happened then!"
"Hadn't it?" There was no contradiction in the response. But it brought him to a sudden pause.
"Why—of course not! I don't believe it had! Do you know anything?" He turned on her swiftly.
"No, I don't know anything." Aunt Jane was cheerful. "Not anything I could put my finger on," she added slowly. "But I kind of sensed, somehow, that they'd got things settled—between 'em."
