"I was just thinking you wouldn't need 'em so much when you got your
wife," she said quietly.
"My--wife!" His hand loosened its grasp on the papers, and he looked out
of the window.
"No." He turned to her and smiled. "I shall not need law papers, nor any
other kind--when I have her."
And suddenly something happened to Aunt Jane. She sat up, very straight;
the muslin cap radiated lines of dignity about a disturbed face. "I
guess maybe we weren't talking about the same thing!" she said
quickly.... "Miss Canfield told me she's going out to see your garden
this afternoon."
"Yes--she's going with Julian." He spoke with satisfaction and a
significance under-ran the words and laughed at her.
