"But I notice you put the cook first and the beauty last." "You will, too, before you get through with it," answered Kate.
"Here we are!" said he, soon after they entered Hartley.

"I'll drive around the block, so you can form an idea of the location." Kate admired every house in the block, the streets and trees, the one house Robert Gray had selected in every particular.

They went inside and built fires, had lunch together at the hotel, and then Kate rolled up her sleeves and with a few yards of cheese-cloth for a duster, began unwrapping furniture and standing it in the room where it belonged.
Robert moved the heavy pieces, then he left to call on a patient and spend the evening with Nancy Ellen.
So Kate spent several happy days setting Nancy Ellen's new home in order.

From basement to garret she had it immaculate and shining.

No Bates girl, not even Agatha, ever had gone into a home having so many comforts and conveniences.
Kate felt lonely the day she knew her home was overcrowded with all their big family; she sat very still thinking of them during the hour of the ceremony; she began preparing supper almost immediately, because Robert had promised her that he would not eat any more of the wedding feast than he could help, and he would bring Nancy Ellen as soon afterward as possible.
