``Yes, I am; though, for that matter, I should love your name, no matter what it was.'' ``Even if 'twas `Mary Jane,' eh?'' bantered Billy. ``Well, you'll have a chance to find out how you like that name pretty quick, sir. We're going to have one here.'' ``You're going to have a Mary Jane here? Do you mean that Rosa's going away?'' ``Mercy! I hope not,'' shuddered Billy. ``You don't find a Rosa in every kitchen--and never in employment agencies! My Mary Jane is a niece of Aunt Hannah's,--or rather, a cousin. She's coming to Boston to study music, and I've invited her here. We've asked her for a month, though I presume we shall keep her right along.'' Bertram frowned. ``Well, of course, that's very nice for--_Mary Jane_,'' he sighed with meaning emphasis. Billy laughed. ``Don't worry, dear. She won't bother us any.'' |
