could share her resolution and her dream. A man of the same breed as the

who had keen, intelligent eyes, and laughter.

Yes, now she wanted to see the two men after all, and meet their lucky
wives, and see their children, the kind of children she might have had.

Might _yet_ have!

At a flash of memory, she smiled a little ruefully, and yet with an
inner peace.

"I am not so old," she repeated in a whisper. "I still have time for at
least a half dozen sons and daughters before--before my barren years."
