Richie--_blazing_! Well, it would just have amused me when we were
engaged, but now I know that he's simply wretched with jealousy, and
I'll have to pet him a little and quiet him down! He is a perfect child
about money; he _will_ spend too much on everything, and if we go abroad
I'll simply have to--"
"Go abroad?" every one echoed.
