"About fifteen."
"Isn't that too old for you?"

"No; but if I get tired of Dan I won't mind taking you," responded Gertie with the most perfect gravity.
"I will remember that. If we should get married your Aunt Florence would be my aunt too."
"Can I do anything for you, Miss Loring?" Mark asked as they reached the exterior of the depot.
