'So she flamed out at that, and asked me if I thought she would? "Well," said I, "for my part, I don't understand how any young lady who expects to be married" but she put her hand right over my mouth. "Now Byo, stop!" she said. "You know you are talking of me not of other young ladies." "Who is to be the happy man in this case?" said I, when she would let me speak.
Byo, why don't you give Mr. Rollo some cream with his peaches, and postpone me till another time? 'She'll have to postpone me, too, said Rollo. 'I must go. Shall I come for you at four o'clock? It will be too hot, I am afraid, before; and we have a good way to go. It wanted some time of four o'clock yet, when Miss Kennedy came quietly into Mr. Falkirk's study and sat down by the window.

'I am so glad! Never fear, Byo, for to-day at least I have got Mr. Falkirk between me and mischief. And there he is this minute, wanting his breakfast.
"I wish I had heard all this before, Byo, but it's too late now, for I've promised. And of course I never thought it all out so. You know I've never even seen a wedding. But is only Mr. Lasalle, in this case; and you know he has 'been though the motions' " Mr. Lasalle, truly! Mrs. Bywank repeated in great scorn. 'A likely thing! 'Going through the motions! Rollo repeated.
