Just see, K. D. B. is a good housekeeper, and wants a
respectable middle-aged gentleman. Captain Jack is a respectable
middle-aged gentleman, and wants a good housekeeper. Oh, and
besides, I can read between the lines! I just feel they would be
congenial. If they know what's best for themselves, they would
write to each other right away."
"But wouldn't you love to be there and see them meet!" exclaimed
Condy.
"Can't we fix it up some way," said Blix, "to bring these two
together--to help them out in some way?"
Condy smote the table and jumped to his feet.
"Write to 'em!" he shouted. "Write to K. D. B. and sign it
Captain Jack, and write to Captain Jack--"
"And sign it K. D. B.," she interrupted, catching his idea.
"And have him tell her, and her tell him," he added, "to meet at
some place; and then we can go to that place and hide, and watch."
"But how will we know them? How would they know each other?
They've never met."
"We'll tell them both to wear a kind of flower. Then we can know
them, and they can know each other. Of course as soon as they
began to talk they would find out they hadn't written."
"But they wouldn't care."
"No--they want to meet each other. They would be thankful to us
for bringing them together."
"Won't it be the greatest fun?"
"Fun! Why, it will be a regular drama. Only we are running the
show, and everything is real. Let's get at it!"
Blix ran into her room and returned with writing material.
