too late?" he asked.
Still blushing, she straightened her hat. "That's ridiculous,
sir. I haven't got used to the thought of you yet."
"Plenty of time for that afterward. Then we'll say next week if
that suits y'u."
"But it doesn't. Don't you know that it is the lady's privilege
to name the day? Besides, I want time to change my mind if I
should decide to."
"That's what I'm afraid of," he laughed joyfully. "So I have to
insist on an early marriage."
"Insist?" she demurred.
"I've been told on the best of authority that I'm very
obstinate," he gayly answered.
"I have a mind of my own myself. If I ever marry you be sure I
shall name the day, sir."
"Will y'u marry me the day Nora does Jim?"
"We'll see." The eyes slanted at him under the curved lashes,
teased him delightfully. "Did Nora tell you she was going to
marry Jim?"
Bannister looked mildly hurt. "My common sense has been telling
it to me a month."
"How long has your common sense been telling you about us?"
"I didn't use it when I fell in love with y'u," he boldly
laughed.
"Of all things to say!"
