velope was that of an advertising
agency.
She said Its nothing very i'm

sheets inside, folded separately. The

crazy Listen to this"
She read the letter again, this
time aloud. Harriet crossed the
room and took it from her when
she had finished. "It's a proposal, y
Harriet exclaimed. Jonas Huckle-
berry wants you to marry him,
Toby. He's asking you to share
his lot-and I'll bet it's fine one!
I've had some fan mail myself,
but never anything to equal this.

The other laughed, you needn't

ready to go ahead on that Hillyer
soap SERIES" he said confidentially,
"but there's another delay. Hill

Joyce picked. That's the trouble
with that place. Everything's got
to be okayed by Hillyer himself.
Talking to any one else is just q
waste of time"
Il shouldn't think it would be
hard to find a model" McCracken
said. New York's full of them
