I should like the dining room done in pale green and the living room in creamy tones , ranging from white to almost golden brown . But perhaps my taste wo n't be hers . '' `` Oh , yes , it will , '' said Willard with assurance . `` I am quite certain she will like everything you like . I can never thank you enough for helping me . If you had n't consented I should have had to put it into the hands of some outsider whom I could n't have helped at all . And I wanted to help . I wanted to have a finger in everything , because it is for her , you see , Miss Sally . It will be such a delight to fix up this little house , knowing that she is coming to live in it . '' `` I wonder if you really mean it , '' said Miss Sally bitterly . `` Oh , I dare say you think you do . But do you ? Perhaps you do . Perhaps you are the exception that proves the rule . '' This was a great admission for Miss Sally to make . For the next two months Miss Sally was happy . Even Willard himself was not more keenly interested in Eden and its development . Miss Sally did wonders with his money . She was an expert at bargain hunting , and her taste was excellent . A score of times she mercilessly nipped Willard 's suggestions in the bud .
