The President

CHAPTER XXI
3/32

To what regions would the happy pair migrate, and for what space?
Mrs.Hanway-Harley wore a look of reserved sadness as though she asked what cemetery had been selected as the destination of the funeral cortege, following services of final sorrow at the house.
Richard explained that, guided by Dorothy, Italy and its mountains had been pitched upon.

They would go from Italy to France; then to England.
The length of their stay abroad was to be always in the hands of Dorothy, who would bring them home to America whenever she chose.
Mrs.Hanway-Harley sighed economically, and suggested that Richard's happiness ought not to blind him to the subject of expense.

In a sudden gush of hardihood Richard kissed Mrs.Hanway-Harley, and assured her that in all his life, a life remarkable for an utter carelessness of money, he had never felt less like reckoning a cost.

From beginning to end he meant to close his eyes to that subject of expense.
