"Of course I didn't mean that, dearest; but soon after Easter so that we could sail at the end of April. I know I could arrange it at the office."

"Amanthis," repeated the child, dreamily, as she leaned against his knee. "I think that is a lovely name, gran'fathah. I wish they had called me that." She repeated it softly several times.
