"Thank you, Mr. Paxton, I will marry you," she said to Jerry.
"Good. I hope you may never regret it," he answered earnestly.
"I hope the same for you," she flashed back at him.
"When will you—when shall we do it?"
"Whenever you like."
"To-day, now. Let's get it over so I, so we, can settle down. Will you marry me to-day, Jane?"
She gasped, then spoke quietly.
"I am ready."
"Good! That's what I like about you, Jane, no shilly-shallying, just going straight after things."
"Will you remember that if you find me going after things you do not approve of?" she smiled.
