"Yes, please; Mr. Terry and Miss Stella will be here very shortly."
Lady O'Gara thought she had better prepare Eileen, who had always had the air of Terry being her property.
"Our great news, after my husband being so well," she said, "is that Terry and Stella are going to be married almost immediately. By the way, they too are going to Italy. Perhaps you may meet there."
Eileen opened her eyes wide and lifted her hands, with a side look at her husband.
"I am so glad," she said. "Do you know, Cousin Mary, the one drawback to my happiness—you see I always cared for Bobbin, since we were small children—was the dread that Terry might mind."
