At this period many were the visits to Judge Jay's Westchester home at Bedford. The house, part of wood and part of stone, had a spacious, comfortable piazza along its front.
Jay's mission, from the beginning, had produced uneasiness and distrust in the diplomatic circles of France and Spain, and perplexed Monroe and his political friends.
Gardiner and Miss Margaret are as happy as the day is long in the love of Jay's sweet, grave young wife, while her husband fairly adores her, though two others share his love as the sunny days flit by a sturdy youngster whom they call Jay, and a dainty little maiden named Sally named after Miss Rogers, and whom that lady declares is to be her heiress a jolly little maiden, hoidenish and mischievous, strangely like that other one who came so near wrecking her father's and mother's life.
