er?"
"Impossible! It is Alice Bailey."
"Yes, Francis," I said, coming into the room, "it is Alice Bailey; but
it is Virginia Harlan as well. The power of love and the power of money!
My own sweet husband, you are mine forever,--that is, if you will have
me. Ike the imperious, beautifully ugly Ike,"--for I had released the
dog from the vestibule to share our happiness,--"you are mine now, as
well as his."
It was thus that I gave expression to my happiness, clasped in the arms
of him I loved, and who loved me, while the others were too dazed to
speak. But when the time came for me to be given away, it was Mr. Chelm
who said the necessary words.
In adding that my aunts never quarrelled again, I have told of my
autobiography all that can possibly interest the public.
