Chapter XIX
“Well, he’s probably done some thinking,” Grace replied soberly; “John isn’t stupid.” “He’s my idea of a prince, if you ask me! He’s making a big hit with my family; mother thinks he’s the grandest young man who ever came up the pike. She’s got him carrying all his mending and darning out to her to do and he’s so nice to her I’m getting jealous!” III Roy came home for a week-end, but only after his mother had written him repeatedly urging a visit.
