As designed, it included every feminine convenience
anyway. But when I build my house I am going to build it for
myself."
"Then don't talk any more about being my bug-catcher," said Linda
promptly, "because when I build my house it's going to be a nest
that will hold six at the very least. My heart is perfectly set
on a brood of six."
Linda was quite unaware that the two men were studying her
closely, but if she had known what was going on in their minds
she would have had nothing to regret, because both of them found
her very attractive, and both of them were wondering how anything
so superficial as Eileen could be of the same blood as Linda.
"Are we keeping you too late?" inquired Peter.
"No," said Linda, "I am as interested as I can be. Finish
everything you want to do before we go. I hope you're going to
let me come over often and watch you with your building. Maybe I
can get an idea for some things I want to do. Eileen and I have
our house divided by a Mason and Dixon line. On her side is
Mother's suite, the dining room, the living room and the front
door. On mine there's the garage and the kitchen and Katy's
bedroom and mine and the library and the billiard room. At the
present minute I am interested in adapting the library to my
requirements instead of Father's, and I am emptying the billiard
room and furnishing it to make a workroom. I have a small talent
with a brush and pencil, and I need some bare walls to tack my
prints on to dry, and I need numerous places for all the things I
am always dragging in from the desert and the canyons; and since
I have the Bear Cat running, what I have been doing in that line
with a knapsack won't be worthy of mention.
