"Stop!" said Diotti; "we will drink to the first part of that toast," and holding his glass against that of his bibulous host, continued: "To the dreamy-eyed women of my country, exacting of their lovers; obedient to their parents and loyal to their husbands," and his voice rose in sonorous rhythm with the words.

"I know. Of course she's like Connie. I guessed it, didn't I?" He glanced triumphantly at Marjorie. "So you did, Uncle John," nodded Marjorie brightly.
