For a little a question rested in her eyes. His laugh, trailing off
into huskiness, puzzled her, vaguely hurt her. She sighed. Then habit
began to prevail. The poor little sentimental regret for this sudden
prosperity died. Her eyes rested on the pretty new toys tricking out
her house. And as she looked the door closed softly, shutting her in
forever. She did not know.
"Do you know, I was almost sorry for a minute? I hardly know why. It
is better this way. We'll have to go back to believing in fairies,
shan't we?"
Her eyes were dancing. Happiness tinted her velvety cheeks. All that
she saw was good.
"Oh, David, I believe we're going to be happier than ever before!"
