A pity if he didn't, Ann thought. For such a handsome young man he was dreadfully solemn. A blue flower lips—might put some color into that precise, flat voice with which he dic- tated business letters. Neither of these supposed he hadn't noticed her blue flowers. And yet, once or twice she fancied his eyes strayed from whatever point in infinity they were fixed on, to the | blue flowers in the vase.
