Jane-Anne went back to the kitchen to wash dishes, perfectly happy.
Curly waited till Mr. Wycherly sat down again.
"And so you wonder what that child will be?" he asked.
"I do, indeed," sighed Mr. Wycherly.
"And she, with those great eyes set so wide apart?"
"That," said Mr. Wycherly, "is the Greek type."
"Every great actress," Curly said sententiously, "has her eyes set wide apart. There has never been a ferrety-faced actress worth anything."
"But what has that got to do with Jane-Anne," Mr. Wycherly said in a puzzled voice.
Curly laughed. "I shan't tell you," he said. "Only I know what she will be, and you needn't worry or try to stop it, for you can't."
"I hope she will be nothing of the kind," Mr. Wycherly said hotly. "Poor little nymph, so sensitive, so loving-hearted, so wise, and at times, so amazingly silly."
