`` Dick 's in there talking to Aunt Tommy , '' I said . `` I do n't see what makes him want to talk to her . '' `` What a goose you are ! '' said Jill in that aggravatingly patronizing way of hers . `` Why , Dick has fallen in love with Aunt Tommy ! '' Honest , I jumped . I never was so surprised . `` How do you know ? '' I asked . `` Because I do , '' said Jill . `` I knew it yesterday at church and I think it is so romantic . '' `` I do n't see how you can tell , '' I said -- and I did n't . `` You 'll understand better when you get older , '' said Jill . Sometimes Jill talks as if she were a hundred years older than I am , instead of being a twin . And really , sometimes I think she is older . `` I did n't think ministers ever fell in love , '' I protested . `` Some do , '' said Jill sagely . `` Mr. Grinnell would n't ever , I suppose . But Dick is different . I 'd like him for a husband myself .
But he 'd be too old for me by the time I grew up , so I suppose I 'll have XXXXX let Aunt Tommy have him .
