"I'm sure it cost a great deal more than you should have spent," she said.
"But you like it, don't you ?" queried Zoeth, hopefully.
"Like it! Oh, Uncle Zoeth, don't you KNOW I like it! Who could help liking such a beautiful thing ?" "How's it show up alongside the watches the other girls have up to that Boston school ?" asked Shadrach, with ill-concealed anxiety.

"We wouldn't want our girl's watch to be any cheaper'n theirs, you know." The answer was enthusiastic enough to satisfy even the Captain and Mr.
Hamilton.
"I'm sure there isn't another girl in the school whose watch means to her what this will mean to me," declared Mary.

"I shall keep it and love it all my life." The partners heaved a sigh of relief.

Whether or not the watch was fine enough for their Mary-'Gusta had been a source of worriment and much discussion.
