p at him fondly
and proudly. "We can go."
"Let's hurry then," he said quickly, as if still afraid that his
new-found bride might change her mind.
"Quick, Jimmie--get Virginia's rubbers!" cried Fanny.
"Sure," he said, disappearing on the run.
Stafford handed the automobile veil to his sister-in-law.
"You can fix this better than I," he smiled.
While Fanny was adjusting the veil, Jimmie re-entered with the rubbers
and put them on.
Stafford picked up the fur coat.
"Now for the coat," he said. Putting his hand in his waistcoat pocket,
he added with a significant smile:
"By the way, I've something else for you. It's from Tiffany's."
Virginia made a gesture of protest.
"Oh, Robert, didn't I tell you that--"
"Wait! Wait!" he laughed. "You don't know what it is!"
Taking from his pocket the wedding ring which three months before she
had returned to him, he held it up and solemnly replaced it on her
finger.
"With eternal love," he said gravely.
Taking her gently in his arms, he kissed her.
