O'Shaughnessy rather likes to "argufy"; but she had no argument that night, only her questions started our hostess's story. She had been married to the Bishop not long before the manifesto, and he had been married several years then to Debbie.
"What's that for?" asked Dorry. "Why, you know this is St. Valentine's-Eve," replied Katy. "Debbie remembered it, I guess, so she put that on." Nothing more was said about St. Valentine just then. But when the last pink letter of his name had been eaten, and the supper had been cleared away, suddenly, as the children sat by the fire, there was a loud rap at the door.
One night, not being assured of the safety of the place where they lodged, she found afterwards that he had lain all night across the threshold of the chamber within which she and Debbie slept. Another night she saw him pacing softly up and down beneath her window.
Dear funny old Debbie won't Chet and I have a picnic to-night?" And as she had predicted, they did have the time of their lives. Chet refused to sit in the dining-room in lonely state, and in masterly fashion invaded the kitchen. "Say, that smells good, Billie, old girl," and he sniffed hungrily at the stew. "Give me an apron and I'll help."
"Dem dat gets up at nine o'clock in de mo'nin'," she declared, "done deserves to go hungry, Miss Billie, beggin' your pardon." Her tone matched the severity of her gaze. "Oh, but, Debbie," said Billie, using the coaxing tone that even black Deborah, tyrant of the household, could never quite resist, "remember how many mornings I have had to get up at seven and go out in the drizzling rain and "
It's to be hoped so, for spoiling she'll have to the end of the chapter. She's born to get the best of everything, is Debbie Pennycuick.

She's got to marry well, that girl; she'd never get along as a poor woman, with her extravagant ways.
"No more experiments in human existence for me! A few years of peace and cleanness, as I am as I now am I hope for that, and for nothing more; I don't want anything more I'd rather not. To be let alone for the rest of the time, and then to be done with it that sums up all the hope I have, or need." "Ah, my dear " "No, Debbie, don't look at me with those eyes don't pity me in that tone of voice.
She was drawn down to the bench beside him, and the man in the moon, as he looked into their shining, happy eyes, seemed to wink knowingly. "Oh, Debbie, isn't it a heavenly night? Oh, Debbie!" His arms went round her, and she simply melted into them. "Oh, my love!..." Five minutes! It ran to an hour and a half before she scudded across the lawn to bed.
He wanted to bring me, but I told him he could be more useful looking after Rosalie and my things. I thought we'd rather be by ourselves, Molly poor old girl! You know I never heard a word until he told me just now. Your letter did not reach me." They kissed again, in the passage of the little house. "You will send away the carriage, Debbie?" Mary urged, without visible emotion.
"I suppose the most sensible thing to do would be to go home and see how Debbie is getting on with the lunch." "Goodness, that's the first time I ever had to be reminded that I was hungry," said Billie, and with that they laughed and felt more natural.
