I don't want to stick my nose in your business, old man, but--by George!--I congratulate you! I've only seen one lovelier woman in my life, and that's Peggy." He thrust out a hand and pumped his friend's limp arm, and Aldous felt himself growing suddenly warm under the other's chuckling gaze.
"For goodness sake don't say anything, or act anything, old man," he pleaded.

"I'm--just--hoping." Blackton nodded with prodigious understanding in his eyes.
"Come along when you get through with MacDonald," he said.

"I'm going in and clean up for to-night's fireworks." A question was in Aldous' mind, but he did not put it in words.
