Theodore bought back a box of snacks for Lucy. There were many items women liked hidden among the snacks.

There were perfumes and lipsticks, diamond necklaces and earrings. Lucy was still like a little girl, and Matthew had never given her any romantic presents.

She started playing with her presents and could not bear to let them go. She even teased Theodore about being a romantic when courting women and wanted to know when she would be getting a sister-in- law.

Theodore got shy from Lucy's teasing. Juliana quickly said, "Don't you know, Velda? Your brother is engaged. You'll probably have a sister-in-law at the end of this year or early next year."
