There were days when Betty had a plan for every half-hour, remarked Aunt Barbara indulgently. "Suppose you come out to the garden with me to pick some raspberries?" and Betty was quietly removed from the weak nerves of Aunt Mary, who plaintively said that Betty had almost too much life. "Too much life! Not a bit of it," said Serena, who was the grandniece's chief upholder and champion.
Bassett shuddered, expecting her aunt to sound a warning against the extravagance of maintaining two homes; but Mrs. Owen rallied promptly to her grandniece's support. "If you've got tired of my house, you couldn't do better than to take an apartment in the Verona. I saw the plans before they began it, and it's first-class and up-to-date.
You warn't to home last summer?" "Only for a week; I was off on a yachting cruise most of the time. Mother said you were up on the Bay then at your grandniece's pretty girl. I remember you had her down here one Christmas." The old man made no definite answer, but cackled softly to himself: "Yachting cruise, eh? And you remember a pretty girl, eh?"
Early in June, the marriage took place; and the bride's trousseau was quite magnificent, if it was not made in Paris. Mrs. Nicoll was delighted with what she termed her grandniece's good sense, and gave her a handsome set of rubies, beside having her diamonds reset for her.
