"Haven't fixed any date or anythin' of the sort, I guess."
"We haven't said anything, but it's understood. We caught each other looking at houses and flats, and had to laugh."
"I guess that's about as good a way as any. But love as a general thing is full of a good deal of talk. Well, my affairs of that sort are over now."
"So the freckled woman has cured you."
"Oh, no, I forgot her in no time. Fact is I never did love but one woman and I married her."
"What's become of her?"
"She's up at Antioch."
"Did you see her?"
"Oh, yes, and we made it up. We're goin' to live together. I understood from what you said t'other day that you wan't goin' to keep this place another year, so I told the old woman that I wanted it. Yes, we are goin' to take a fresh start. You said once that I ought to have cut her throat, but I can't look at it in that light. After all, she's as good as I am."
"A devilish sight better," said Milford.
