Chapter XXVII
And now Kedzie Thropp was satisfied at last--at least for the time being. She was a plump kitten, replete and purr-full, and the world was her catnip-ball. There was no visible horizon to her wealth. Her name was one of the oldest, richest, noblest in the republic. She was a Dyckman now, double-riveted to the name with a civil license and a religious certificate.
