<p>“Bunny, you talk like your grandmother!”</p>
<p>“But what about the servants, dear?”</p>
<p>“Servants, hell!” said Eunice. “You can run your home to please the servants, but that’s not our way⁠—at least, not tonight!” And to save Bunny any embarrassment, she kept him in her room in the morning while she broke the news to her mother; and if there were any mental agonies Bunny never knew it, because the patroness of the Serbian orphans breakfasted in bed, reading in the morning paper the account of her fashionable philanthropies.</p>
<p>After that, the ice was broken⁠—as the French have observed, it is the first step that counts, thought it is doubtful if any parent in old-fashioned France has been compelled to take quite so long a step. The rainy season continued, making outdoor petting parties uncomfortable, so whenever he was commanded, Bunny would stay in Eunice’s home, and it was all quite domestic and regular according to advanced modern standards. In fact, there was only one small detail left, and Bunny suggested that: “Eunice, why shouldn’t we go and get married, and have it over with?”</p>

<p>He was surprised by the vehemence of the girl’s reaction. “Oh, Bunny, we’re having such a happy time, and why do you want to ruin it?”</p>
<p>“But why would that ruin it?”</p>
<p>“All married people are miserable. I know, because I’ve watched them. Mamma and Papa would give a million dollars⁠—well, maybe not that much but certainly a couple of hundred thousand, if they could get loose without having to go through all the fuss in the courts, and the horrid things the newspapers would publish, and their pictures and all.”</p>
