"Rowland," said Eleanor, now completely happy again, "you ought to have those jalousie blinds at these windows. You want them here much more than I do."
"How will you prove that?"
"By putting them here; and then you will confess it."
"Don't you do it!" said he smiling, seeing that Eleanor's eye was in earnest.
"Please let me! Do let me! You want them much more than I do, Rowland."
"Then you will have to let them stand; for they are just where I want them."
"But the shade of them is much more needed here."
"I could have had it. You need not disturb yourself. There is a whole stack of them lying under the shelves in your store-room."
"Why are they lying there?" said Eleanor in great surprise.
"I did not want them. I left them for you to dispose of."
