"And you of him, then, of course," said Carl.
"Why, of course!" she echoed, with a look of surprise. "If I were to do anything to Dick to make him unhappy, I should never forgive myself, never! I have written him a letter to-day, and told him I want him to be a Catholic."
"You have!" said Carl with a faint smile. "Do you think he will obey you?"
"Oh! yes," she said confidently; "I told him some good reasons why he should."
And may I ask what the good reasons were, Edith?" was the smiling question.
"Why, in the first place, I want him to."
"Excellent!" laughed the young man. "The doctors couldn't do better."
Edith blushed deeply. "No; the good reasons were the reasons why I wanted him to," she said.
