"But, surely," exclaimed Ethelbertha, "you don't mean to say you're breaking off the match because you don't like his sausages!" "Well, I suppose that's what it comes to," agreed Amenda, unconcernedly. "What an awful idea!" sighed poor Ethelbertha, after a long pause. "Do you think you ever really loved him?"
I believe the result would have been the same if we had told her we were going to live in a balloon. I do not know how it was, I am sure. Amenda was always most respectful in her manner. But she had a knack of making Ethelbertha and myself feel that we were a couple of children, playing at being grown up and married, and that she was humouring us.
