"And, Of course, we couldn't have
them together" put in Nell, and as
Tom muttered an "of course not" she
added with mock cheerfulness and O

with us, and now don't even feel free
to invite her here for Thanksgiving"
ST am sure I don't see why you
should have your mother here any
more than I should have mamma"
