He was actually blushing, Bettina thought. Suddenly she found Alice's arms around her and Alice's laughing face hidden on her shoulder. "Don't, Harry! Let me be the one to tell her!"
And so Bob found them, all laughing and talking at once.
"Hurrah!" said he when he heard the news. "The best possible idea! Is dinner ready, Bettina? Get out some grape juice and we'll drink to the health and future happiness of Alice and Harry! I'm the man that made this match!"
Dinner that night consisted of:
Fish a la Bettina Rice Cakes
Stuffed Tomato Salad
Rolls Butter
Iced Grape Juice Blueberry Tarts
