"When may I expect an answer, Phyllis?" he said at length. "You know

tried to live on the hill, but I need you to keep me from falling off."

"What about your settlement plan? I thought you wanted me for that."

"We will give our lives to that, together, Phyllis, to that, and to
making this house a home. If God should give us--"

against his, and her lips had murmured "Yes."...

"Mr. Grant! Mr. Grant! The telephone is ringing," called the clear voice
of Zen Transley. "Shall I take the message?"

"It's Mr. Murdoch, and he's highly excited, and he says have you Phyllis
Bruce here."

"Tell him I have, and I'm going to keep her."
