"Do you think I shall make a—nice wife, Jimmy?" she asked in a whisper.
Jimmy caught her to his heart.
"Do I? Darling—I can't—somehow I can't answer that question. I'm not half good enough for you. I don't deserve that you——" he began brokenly.
She laid her hand on his lips.
"You're not to say rude things about my husband," she told him with pretended severity.
