They didn't get any wire from her uncle about the touring car; it was her cousin Milt that jumped on the train and came down and fixed it all up for Milla to go on the trip, and everything.

You see, Ramsey, she was turned back a couple of times in school before she came in our class and I don't exactly know how old she is and she don't _look_ old yet, but I'm pretty sure she's at least eighteen, and she might be over.

Her mother kept tellin' her all the time you were just a kid, and didn't have anything to support her on, and lots of things like that.

I didn't think such a great deal of this Milt's looks, myself, but he's anyway twenty-one years old, and got a good position, and all their family seem to think he's just fine! It wasn't his father that took in the touring car on debt, like she said she was writing to you; it was Milt himself.

He started out in business when he was only fifteen years old, and this trip he was gettin' up for his father and mother and Milla was the first vacation he ever took.
Well, of course she wouldn't like my tellin' you, but I can't see the harm of it, now everything's all over." "All--all over?
You mean Milla's going to be--to be married ?" "She already is," said Sadie.
