When I was a child he used to take me on his knee and say he'd marry me some day. Now I am a woman the jest has turned earnest, and he is anxious to do it. And father and mother says I can't do better than have him. 'He's well off? 'Yes he's the richest man we know as a friend and neighbour. 'How much older did you say he was than yourself?
