If he does not make haste I'll go a-courting myself up to Withersteen House." There was laughter and further bantering by the Bishop, and then mild talk of village affairs, after which he took his leave, and Jane was left with her friend, Mary Brandt.

Our Mart won't run after that kind of a girl! Anyhow, not for long." At that moment the object of their discussion was approaching the Reist farmhouse. The entire household, Millie included, sat on the big front porch as the caller came down the road. "Look," said Philip, and began to sing softly. "Here comes a beau a-courting, a-courting " "Phil!" chided Millie and Amanda in one breath.
"Oh, I aint a-disputin' yer right, but it seems so kind o' suddint that it's taken what little breath I've left." "How do you know it's sudden?
