sliding from
the top of the seat to circle Marcia's waist, David whispered:
"This is our real wedding journey, dearest, and this is our bridal day.
We'll go to Albany and buy you a trousseau, and then we will go wherever
you wish. I can stay a whole week if you wish. Would you like to go home
for a visit?"
Marcia, with shining eyes and glowing cheeks, looked her love into his
face and answered: "Yes, _now_ I would like to go home,--just for a few
days--and then back to our home."
And David looking into her eyes understood why she had not wanted to go
before. She was taking her husband, _her_ husband, not Kate's, with her
now, and might be proud of his love. She could go among her old comrades
and be happy, for he loved her. He looked a moment, comprehended,
sympathized, and then pressing her hand close--for he might not kiss her,
as there was a load of hay coming their way--he said: "Darling!" But their
eyes said more.
