It merely occurred to me to wonder whether you
realized the full and ultimate significance of what we are
saying; exactly what it means to me and to you."
"Possibly not, Peter," said Linda, smiling on him with utter
confidence. "Everyone says I am my father's daughter, and Father
didn't live to coach me on being your iris decoration, as a woman
would; but, Peter, when the time comes, I have every confidence
in your ability to teach me what you would like me to know
yourself. Don't you agree with me, Peter?"
Making an effort to control himself Peter gathered up the
material Linda had brought and taking her arm he said casually:
"I thoroughly agree with you, dear. You are sanely and health
fully and beautifully right. Now let's go and take Katy into our
confidence, and then you shall show me your ideas before I begin
work on your proof. And after this, instead of you coming to me
I shall always come to you whenever you can spare a minute for
me."
Linda nodded acquiescence.
"Of course! That would be best," she said. "Peter, you are so
satisfyingly satisfactory."
