I knew you would I told Ellen you would. I knew it would only take a minute. Now, girl, you go home and tell Ellen, and we'll have a wedding in a fortnight and you'll come and live with us.

"I'll try and get him for you, Aunt Kate." "Try pretty hard, Worthie." He started, but turned back. "What'll I tell him, Aunt Kate?"
