"I mean to go on with my life as I have begun it. I shall never marry, Dan, marriage isn't in my plan at all. But for you the right woman will come some day I hope so with all my heart. We must understand all this now. And I must be sure, oh, very sure, that you know how dear it is to have had you say these things to me." "But I shall say them again and always, Sylvia!
She had, indeed, changed. "In what terrible place do you think I'll end up?" "I suppose you'll marry one of these Boston men." "Oh," she laughed, "that wouldn't be so terrible, would it?" "I believe you're engaged to one of 'em now," he remarked, looking very hard at her. "If you believed that, I don't think you would say it," she answered. "I can't make you out.
I have kept out of her sight as much as I could, all these weeks, hoping she would forget that and forgive it but I know she never will. She can't, of course. And, after all, I wasn't to blame. I did say she promised to marry me, but they put me up to it and persuaded me. I swear they did!" The vast creature was almost crying.
When Sir Hu saw Mosu he thought to himself: "What a pity that so highly gifted a man should act in so heartless a manner!" When a few months had passed, Sir Hu said to his subordinates: "I have a daughter who is very pretty and good, and would like to find a son-in-law to marry into my family. Do you know of any one who might answer?"
"Does that mean Dick John Massey?" "Maybe. Maybe not. I have told him not to speak of love for a long, long time. We must both be free. He is going to France as a war correspondent next week." "Don't you hate to have him go?" "Yes, I do. But I can't be selfish enough to keep him hanging round me forever on the slim chance that some time I shall be willing to marry him.
That noon, as we sat around the glowing stove, we played as children will, and it came my turn to "answer truly whom I intended to marry." Without a thought of the big apple, the snowy socks, or of any one in particular, I replied unhesitatingly "The one I love best," and the question passed on to Cora, who was sitting by the side of Walter Beaumont.
I'd be just like the toys he used to cry for, then break up. I won't marry such a man, NEVER." "You had better not. Hush! We are approaching a man yonder who appears anxious to hear what is none of his business." They had been strolling slowly back, often pausing in the deep mutual interest of their conversation.
But didn't we have to come down to the earth to eat and sleep, to love, to marry, and to bear our young? Our trouble is that " And just then, "Here they come!" Lulu cried happily. Lulu's eyes turned away from the group of women. Her brown face had lighted as though somebody had placed a torch beside it.
"Only think of Johnson and Savage, rambling about the streets of London at midnight, without a place to sleep in; Otway starved to death; Cowley mad, and howling like a dog, through the aisles of Chichester Cathedral, at the sound of church music; and Goldsmith, strutting up Fleet Street in his peach-blossom coat, to knock a bookseller over the pate with one of his own volumes; and then, in his poverty, about to marry his landlady in Green Arbour Court."
I thought so, but perhaps I was wrong." He looked at her again, openly, and with growing interest. He had hated her memory, had cursed her a thousand times, for having come between him and the woman he wanted to marry; but it made a wonderful difference in his feelings towards her just at present to find that she was not his enemy.
