Johanna is good and manageable, really a splendid character in spite of her spoiling. You won't have any difficulty with her. And I think it'll be good for her to be away from me here, and be somewhere where there's a woman to see to her and children. She doesn't get much attention here."

We've made a whopping big catch, not much under three thousand pounds, I should say enough, at any rate, to keep us all busy till dark. Let's bury the hatchet, handle and all, so deep that it'll never be dug up again! Shake on it!" Whittington ignored Jim's outstretched hand. Trembling with humiliation and anger, he had all he could do to keep the tears from his eyes.

Suddenly he took out the letter and, bending his head to the blaze, began to read it.
"I'm in no great hurry to be married. Are you?" He said: "I don't know. I've never thought of it. Just whenever you like." "All right," she returned calmly. "Let it be a year hence. Meanwhile, we can be engaged. It'll please the dear old birds. I know all the tabbies in the town have been mewing about us. Now they can mew about somebody else." "That's awfully good of you, Peggy," said Marmaduke.
