"Not a confession, surely!" exclaimed Young.
There are yours, and ours, the mill-buildings, the house where an old cousin of mine lives, and the Powers' house, although that is so far away, nearly half a mile, that it is really only a farm-house in the country. We, you see, are the suburb of Ashley." Marsh laughed out again at this, and she laughed with him, their eyes, shining with amusement, meeting in a friendly glance.
Ashley spoke with the calmness of despair: "There isn't a book on the place. I let " "Wait a minute," cried Peggy. "I have one." She ran up the stairs as she finished speaking and soon returned, a book in her hand. "Oh, Peggy," wailed Sally, "'tis thy diary. And how will the girls ever know what hath befallen us without it?"

And I think, now, she'll lead me right where I've been wanting to go for a long time.
Lady Ashley would have been very much astonished if she had known how far her idolized son had gone that night along the road of a resolution to ask Janetta Colwyn to be his wife. Janetta scarcely expected to hear from Lady Ashley again, and was not surprised that days and weeks passed on in silence as regarded her engagement to sing at the evening party.

And unless Ashley assumed the responsibilities of his future wife's position, he couldn't marry her "on his own." That much was clear. It was also the most proper thing in the world.
