I love the wild white
violets especially. What is it you want?"
"Why you see," said Leslie, looking eagerly at Mrs. Minturn, "you see
there are three flower baskets at Lowry's. Douglas Bruce is going to buy
me the one I want most for a present, to celebrate a very important
occasion, and I can't tell which is most artistic. I want you to decide.
Your judgment is so unfailing. Will you come? Only a little spin!"
"Leslie, you aren't by any chance asking me to select your betrothal gift,
are you?"
Leslie's face was rose-flushed smiling wonderment. She had hastily slipped
off her swamp costume. Joy that seemed as if it must be imperishable shone
on her brightly illumined face. With tightly closed, smile-curved lips she
vigorously nodded. The elder woman bent to kiss her.
"Of course I'll come!" she laughed. "I feel thrilled, and flattered. And I
congratulate you sincerely. Bruce is a fine man. He'll make a big fortune
soon."
"Oh I hope not!" said Leslie.
"Are you crazy?" demanded Mrs. Minturn.
