"Well, I rather think he has Violet on his mind. Did you ever see anything so spooney as they looked all through dinner yesterday and luncheon to-day? I didn't think it was in Violet." "It was for you," she says, hanging her head. "I thought if I could do something to make you happier, you might learn to love me a little!"
