they talked of where they would like to be buried."
Jean hid an abashed face for a moment against her husband's sleeve; then
she looked up at him and laughed.
"It sounds mad--but I mean it," she said.
"It's all the fault of your Great-aunt Alison. Tell me, Jean, girl--no,
I'm not laughing--how will this day look from your death-bed?"
Jean looked at the river, then she looked into her husband's eyes, and
put both her hands into his.
"Ah, my dear love," she said softly, "if that day leaves me any
remembrance of what I feel to-day, I'll be so glad to have lived that
I'll go out of the world cheering."
