"I have absolutely no idea." Edwina smiled happily and Sam grinned.

"He got one of them from me. In fact, the one you were just riding.

He's a fine piece of horseflesh, isn't he? Sometimes I really miss him." Sam was warm and friendly with the boy, just as he had been with Edwina.

"Why did you give him up?" Teddy was curious about everything, and absolutely crazy about horses.

"I thought George and Helen might enjoy him more.

They ride together quite a bit, and I really don't have time.

And besides," he smiled ruefully at the child who looked so much like his sister, "I'm getting too old to ride all the time."

He pretended to growl, and Edwina dismissed the thought with a wave of the hand.

"Don't be absurd, Mr. Horowitz."

"Sam, if you please, or you'll make me feel even older. I'm practically a grandfather!" he announced, and they all laughed and Edwina raised an eyebrow after a burst of laughter.

"Oh? Is there anything in particular I should know about this wedding?" But they were only teasing and he was quick to shake his head and reassure her. But he was looking forward to grandchildren, and hoped that George and Helen would oblige him soon. And he had always hoped that his future son-in-law wanted a large family like his own. Sam loved the idea of lots of children running around. He had always wanted more himself until . . . Helen's mother had died. And he had never remarried. "I wonder what it'll be like to be an aunt,"

she said pensively as she poured them both more tea. It seemed very strange to her. She was so used to having the children as her own, it was going to be very odd when they were someone else's.

Sam invited them to dinner at his home then. He had come to tender the invitation himself, and assured her that she and all of the children were welcome.

"That would be a terrible imposition, Mr. . . . sorry, Sam." She blushed and he smiled graciously.

"Not at all. It would be an honor. Please be sure you bring Teddy, and Fannie, and Alexis, and, of course, George. Do I have all the names right?" he asked as he stood up to his full height and she looked up at him in amazement. He was very tall indeed, and very handsome. But it was absurd to keep thinking that about her future sister-in-law's father. "I'll send the car for you at seven. I know how unreliable my partner can be about things like that, and he may want to come directly from the office." Sam smiled at her and she nodded.

"Thank you very much." She walked him back to his car as Teddy bounded beside them like an exuberant Irish setter.

"We'll see you tonight, then." He seemed to hesitate for a long moment before shaking her hand and sliding back into the Rolls. And then a moment later, the chauffeur started the car, Sam waved, and he was gone, just as Fannie came out to see them.
