"But we want you," I protested, assuring him that this was not a case where one could say, "How happy could I be with either, Were t'other dear Johnnie away!" "Well, then, why can't you have it some other day?" "Because he wasn't born some other day."
I thought you would be in the way but I am so glad now, for if you had not come I might never have been your wife," and Bessie nestled closer to the arm which was her rightful resting-place, and which encircled her fondly, as Grey replied a little teasingly: "No, not my wife perhaps, but you might have been Neil's, eh?"
