Some people have all the luck . I 'm tired of talking to Judith . Folks 'll be saying soon that nobody ever really wanted her , for all her flirting . But she just wo n't marry . '' `` I will ! '' Judith whirled about on the sun warm door step and came in . Her black eyes were flashing and her round cheeks were crimson . `` Such a temper you never saw ! '' reported Mrs. Tony afterwards . `` Though ` twere n't to be wondered at . Theodora was most awful aggravating . '' `` I will , '' repeated Judith stormily . `` I 'm tired of being nagged day in and day out . I 'll marry -- and what is more I 'll marry the very first man that asks me -- that I will , if it is old Widower Delane himself ! How does that suit you , Aunt Theodora ? '' Mrs. Theodora 's mental processes were never slow . She dropped her knitting ball and stooped for it . In that time she had decided what to do . She knew that Judith would stick to her word , Stewart-like , and she must trim her sails to catch this new wind . `` It suits me real well , Judith , '' she said calmly , `` you can marry the first man that asks you and I 'll say no word to hinder . ''
