"We've enjoyed it very much. Jerry seems contented. He works and swims and loafs. We take long tramps in the woods, and up the beach; it is pleasant."
"Why didn't you go to the Brendons', Jane?"
"I preferred you to the Brendons; there's a compliment."
"Is Miss Morton to be there?"
"I suppose so."
"Don't you care, Jane?"
"My caring would only complicate it."
"Is Jerry glad about the baby?"
This was the first mention of the subject.
