“Tomorrow I shall ask Miss Morrison to go shopping with you and buy a wonderful wardrobe for you, Tamea.”
“I will take this woman Julia instead, if you please, Plain Dan,” she replied.
“Call me Dan,” he pleaded. “Just one word—Dan.”
She nodded. “How long will I stay in your house, Dan?”
“Why, as long as you care to, Tamea.”
Again the grateful and adorable smile. “Then I shall stay here with you always, Dan.”
“Do you think we can manage without quarreling?”
“There will be no quarreling.”
“But you will obey me, Tamea. You will recognize my authority and do exactly what I tell you to do.”
She sighed.
