Mrs. Webb:
George, you know 's well as I do: the groom can't see his bride on his wedding day. not until he sees her in church.
George:
Aw! - that's just a superstition. - Good morning Mr. Webb.
.......
Mrs. Webb:
Millions have folla'd it, George, and you don't want to be the first to fly in the face of custom.
......
Mr. Webb:
Suddenly and loudly.
Well, George, how are you?
George:
Startled, choking over his coffee.
Oh, fine, I'm fine.
Pause.
Mr. Webb, what sense could there be in a superstition like that?
Mr. Webb:
Well, you see, - on her wedding morning, a girl's head's apt to be full of ... clothes and one thing and another. Don't you think that's probably it?
George:
Ye-e-s. I never thought of that.
Mr. Webb:
A girl's apt to be a mite nervous on her wedding day.

Hello,
I think a that can be added here:: Don't you think that that is probably it? - or am I wrong? Please, what is the meaning of that's probably it here?
