Doro*hy approached him slowly, her eyes glued Io his. “I got one for u> too," he said softly. “Let'a use it. Dot. What’s the use of waiting?" Gabrielle walked over to a win- ’• dow a little ways from them. Peter got up and joined her, slipping on arm around ber waist. "I love you so much. Gaby." he said humbly. “Are you sure you won’t mind not having mueh to live on? That you won't mind a tiny apartment and doing your own work?" • Gabrielle turned away from the open window where small eottages were all that m<-t the eye. Small cottages, with their loveliest flower, of the year. Gabrielle didn’t atop to think that although in June the whole world was beautiful with greenery and the early flowerg only a few of them would remain during the hot summer months to come. Peter Ivohcd fresh and not at all tired. "I'll levs it, Peter," she breathed I wish we could live in this very town and have owe of those tiny white cottages, with the pink ram Ming roses!"
