The toast, according to the minute book, was enthusiastically honoured. Elgin-Grey Correspondence: Elgin to Grey, 1 November, 1851. Elgin-Grey Correspondence: Grey to Elgin, 11 May, 1849.

And to-morrow Primrose would be all right again. "Do you know this Allin Wharton?" Nevitt asked of Madam Wetherill. "I know his family well, only young people have such a way of growing up that one loses track of them. He cannot be more than twenty. And words between you ought not to lead to any serious matter. You should have kept better watch of Primrose in such a crowd."
And there would always be legal troubles to settle, property boundaries to define, wills to make, and Allin admitted he had seen quite enough of war, though, if the country needed him, he should go again. But Gilbert Vane was a truly enthusiastic soldier. When Andrew came he announced that the company was to be ready to start next week. Certainly the afternoon was beautiful.
Primrose wiped some tears from her lovely eyes. "That is the best any man can be," she made answer. It was a very gay fortnight, and Allin Wharton was so angry and so wretched that he scarce knew how to live. Captain Vane was handsome and fascinating, and a hero from having lost his estates, and there were a full hundred reasons why he should be attractive to a woman.
"Oh, hush, Allin, let me think " If she did not mean to love him he would know it by some sure sign. The hesitation, the half yielding tells its own story. And the very foolishness of love went to her heart. The vehemence, the ownership in its fearlessness, the persuasive certainty.
"Come along at once! Allin Wharton, go over yonder and cool your temper talking to the pretty women. And if you are the child's brother, get along as fast as you can with her, and let us see what it amounts to. A fall like that is enough to knock the breath out of anyone." Wharton did not attempt to follow them. They hurried on, Nevitt's anger giving him strength.
The General never forgets good service, and he is marked for promotion." Primrose courtesied again, her eyes shining with lustrousness that was near to tears. "I should almost have danced up and down and clapped my hands, or else fallen at her feet and kissed her pretty hands if she had said that about Allin," declared Polly afterward.
She laughed softly and began to take out her pins and stick them carefully in the cushion. Pins were very precious then. There were two rainy days, an autumnal storm. Then Sunday. Allin Wharton looked at Primrose across the church and spoke coming out. There were laces to mend and gowns to consider and poor to visit.
"Nay, Lieutenant Henry won in the end, and our loss was nothing compared to the enemy. But poor Allin " "He is not dead," added Primrose, when Polly's voice failed. "And, madam, Cousin Andrew hath taken our heroic Colonel Nevitt a prisoner in his first battle. I know not whether to rejoice or cry." "Primrose, thou art a naughty girl!"
Oh, what was the matter that she was not happy and satisfied! Allin was studying hard and well, and growing more manly every day. And at last he made up his mind there should be no more shilly-shallying. For when Primrose was tender and sweet he knew she loved him. She was yes, a little bit jealous when he wandered too far in a half angry, half desperate moment.
