Beyond the pool which reflected the little star was the dark outline of the box hedge, and beyond the hedge, the rise of the hill showed dark against the dull silver of the sky a shadow seemed to rise suddenly in that dim brightness, the tall thin shadow of a man with a clear-cut profile, and a high-held head! Becky drew a sharp breath then faced Dalton squarely. "I am going to marry Randy."
"I had a line from the General this morning," he remarked, after studying his brother's profile and shrewdly gauging his thoughts. True enough his start betrayed him. "The General? Reliefs?" "Yes."
