"Thank you, Gussie; that speech is all that is needed to remove every
vestige of regret I may have felt at leaving home," was Dexie's reply, an
unusual light in her dark eyes. "Come, Guy, I am quite ready," and without
turning her head she passed out the door of her own home to the untried
future that she was to share with Guy Traverse.
"My heart aches for you, my darling," and Guy pressed the hand that rested
on his arm. "Let Gussie shed her tears of joy while she can, for, if I am
not mistaken, they will flow for another cause before the week is out."
CHAPTER XLIV.
A kinder welcome could not be imagined than Dexie received from Guy's
sister when they arrived in Boston, for Mrs. Graham had heard so much of
Guy's "little girl" that she took Dexie to her heart at once.
The mental disquietude and physical weariness that she had passed through
kept Dexie confined to her room for two days, but on the morning of her
third day in Boston she stepped out the church-door a willing, happy bride.
"Really, I can hardly believe that I have been turned into a married woman
since I entered the church," she said softly, as Guy seated her in the
carriage.
