"Mother will be glad to hear of it," he said.
"Why?"
"Because your mother is her only sister, and she will like to call on her."
"Look here!" said Edgar. "I hope you don't expect to be on visiting terms at our house."
"Why not? You are my own cousin, aren't you?"
"Yes, I suppose so," answered Edgar, making the admission grudgingly, "but of course there is a great difference in our social positions."
"You mean that you are rich and we are poor?"
"Yes, that's about the size of it."
"I don't care a particle about seeing you, but my mother will be glad to see her sister."
"Oh, well! Mother can call at your—tenement house, now and then, but it would be better that none of you should call on us."
