"What do you intend to call your son?"
"What do you?" she asked, smiling up at him.
"Horace, for your father, if you like."
"And I had thought of Edward, for his father and yours. Horace Edward. Will that do?"
"I am satisfied, if you are. But Edward would do for the next."
"But he may never come to claim it," she said, laughing. "Is papa in the house?"
"Yes, and delighted to learn that he has a grandson."
"Oh, bring him here and let me see the first meeting between them."
"Can you bear the excitement?"
"I promise not to be excited; and it always does me good to see my dear father."
