Excerpt: ...I will run the house together. I shall enjoy it." "You're a good woman, Thirza!" Taking his wife's hand, he put it to his lips. "There isn't another woman like you in the world." Thirza's eyes smiled. "Pass me your cup; I'll give you some fresh coffee." It was decided to put the plan into operation at mid-month, and she bent all her wits to instilling into her husband the thought that a baby more or less was no great matter in a world which already contained twelve hundred million people. With a man's keener sense of family propriety, he could not see that this baby would be the same as any other baby. "By heaven!" he would say, "I simply can't get used to it; in our family!

He regretted keenly that Thirza wouldn't be with him; a long separation like this would be a great trial. And he would sigh and run his fingers through his whiskers. Still for the Country, and for Nollie, one must put up with it! When Thirza finally saw him into the train, tears stood in the eyes of both, for they were honestly attached, and knew well enough that this job, once taken in hand, would have to be seen through; a three months' separation at least. "I shall write every day." "So shall I, Bob." "You won't fret, old girl?" "Only if you do." "I shall be up at...
