“Indeed? And who, may I ask, is Julian?”
“Julian Wayne is my cousin, my second cousin. He graduated from medical college last year. He lives in Marysville, over yonder.” Holly nodded vaguely toward the grove.
“Practising, is he?”
“He’s Dr. Thompson’s assistant,” said Holly. “He’s getting experience. After awhile he’s going to come to Corunna.” There was a pause. “He’s coming over to-morrow to spend Sunday.”
“Really? And does he make these trips very often?”
“Oh, every now and then,” answered Holly, carelessly.
“Perhaps there is an attraction hereabouts,” suggested Winthrop.
“Maybe it’s Aunt India,” said Holly, gravely.
Winthrop laughed.
“Is he nice, this Cousin Julian?” he asked.
