"It's in the paper," he chuckled. "Those reporters get everything." "What's in the paper?" Myra Nell snatched the sheet from his hand and read eagerly as he went trotting out again with his slippers applauding every step. "Oh, Lordy!" Blake read over her shoulder, and his face flushed. "Norvin, we're really, truly engaged, now. See!" After a pause, "And you've never even asked me."
