Mr. Holcombe asked me last night to marry him. He says he needs me,
and that I need him.
I am a lonely woman, and getting old, and I'm tired of watching the
gas meter; and besides, with Peter dead, I need a man in the house all
the time. The flood district is none too orderly. Besides, when I have
a wedding dress laid away and a bottle of good wine, it seems a pity
not to use them.
I think I shall do it.
