"By Jove," cried Medenham, "that will be splendid! I like Mrs.
Leland. At one time, do you know, I rather fancied she might
become my step-mother, now it seems I shall have to greet her as

Cynthia laughed delightedly.

"Father looked _so_ confused when I asked him. Say, wouldn't it be a
joke if Simmonds brought them to Scarland Towers one day, and they
were announced by some solemn footman as 'Mr. and Mrs. Vanrenen'?"

"Cynthia, you _know_," he teased her.

"I don't know, but I am a good guesser," she said.

And she was.
