Mable's tears had dried completely by this point, and she was smiling bright and wide.  "Yes, that sounds wonderful, Miss Nettie!  Thank you very much!"

She wondered why Father Brennan hadn't introduced her to Nettie sooner!  She was so nice, and very pretty.  Mable loved her!

"I didn't know Father had a niece, but he mentioned a brother to me before!  Where is he, your father?  May I meet him?"  She remembered that Father said he didn't get along with his brother, but she hoped Levi was still nice.
