Ranald excused himself, saying he had promised to take his Aunt Allison to the dressmaker's in the pony-cart, but Allison and Kitty promptly accepted the invitation for themselves and the two lieutenants.

This invitation is the very best thing that could have come to us at present, and I am deeply grateful for it.
