"But your labouring woman gets up now in two or three days, doesn't she?"
"Yes, but look at the results. Talk to the doctors at the free dispensaries about what it does to them. I honestly believe that those two German doctors in the Black Forest have done more to free women than any other single agency of our times. I'm so glad to live now, Bobs, to be part of this wonderful century, to take advantage of its big experiments."
"Jane, the way you eat up the experiences of life is amazing to me!"
They both laughed at that, and veered off to Bobs's impressions of the stable Jerry had rented. He had taken her over it, to help him in some decisions.
"Bobs, the truth, now. Is it a wild mistake?"
"It's perfectly charming, but it looks a bit plutocratic from my humble attic point of view."
"It will probably ruin him to keep it up."
"He has it all planned. I never knew Jerry to be so sane. He says he has several portrait orders now, and more coming."
"Just when we wanted to get him away from portraits. Oh, Bobs, life gets so complicated, and mixed up," mourned Jane.
