"He's got a wife, too," said the Baker. "I suppose it's bound to 'appen to a man if 'e only lives long enough."
"Yes," said Kitty; "and will she like me?"
The Baker looked at her indignantly.
"If she don't, she ought to come through what we went through, old girl. And 'ave you alongside to show 'er what's what."
For the Baker was firmly convinced that Mrs. Mandeville, in spite of some eccentricities, was absolutely the best woman in the world. And what she did not know about civilisation was compensated for by what she knew of the bush. When he got that governess out, he had great hopes of his wife's taking a prominent position in society.
THE END.
