' What could he mean?"
Lispenard stayed on to see the "comedy," and seemed to enjoy it, if the
amused expression on his face when he occasionally gave himself up to
meditation was any criterion. Peter had been pressed to stay beyond the
original week, and had so far yielded as to add three days to his visit.
These last three days were much pleasanter than those which had gone
before, although Dorothy had departed and Peter liked Dorothy. But he
saw much more of Miss De Voe, and Miss De Voe was in a much pleasanter
mood. They took long drives and walks together, and had long hours of
talk in and about the pleasant house and grounds. Miss De Voe had cut
down her social duties for the ten days Peter was there, giving far more
time for them to kill than usually fell to Newporters even in those
comparitively simple days.
In one of these talks, Miss De Voe spoke of Dorothy.
"She is such a nice, sweet girl," she said. "We all hope she'll marry
Lispenard."
"Do you think cousins ought to marry?"
Miss De Voe had looked at Peter when she made her remark.
