"They do, too," insisted Maurice. "They GOTTA!" "Who told you?" "Look at what my own papa told me!" cried Maurice, heated with argument. "Didn't he tell me your papa had to marry your mamma, or else he never'd got to handle a cent of her money? Certumly, people gotta marry. Everybody. You don't know anybody over twenty years old that isn't married except maybe teachers."
"You'd be foolish, because they'd be a toy deportment in my store where they'd be a hunderd marbles! So, how much would you think your five-for-a-cent marble counts for? And when I'm keepin' my store I'm goin' to get married." "Yay!" shrieked Sam derisively. "MARRIED! Listen!" Penrod and Herman joined in the howl of contempt. "Certumly I'll get married," asserted Maurice stoutly.
I said to myself, 'I will go and stand on the very spot where Winifred stood when she lisped "certumly" to the proposal of her little lover. It was not, after all, till this evening that I really knew how entirely she was a portion of my life. I went and stood by the black boulder where I had received the little child's prompt reply.
'Then I will not call you "sir." said Winifred laughingly. 'Certainly I will not call you "sir," if that is to be the penalty. 'Winifred, said I, 'the last time that I remember to have heard you say "certainly" was on this very spot. You then pronounced it "certumly," and that was when I asked you if I might be your lover. You said "certumly" on that occasion without the least hesitation.
Once when I asked her on the sands if I might be her lover, she took an entirely practical view of the question, and promptly replied 'certumly, adding, however, like the wise little woman I always found her, that she 'wasn't quite sure she knew what a lover was, but if it was anything very nice she should certumly like me to be it.
You love me, Winnie? 'What a question! 'And you will do what I ask you to do, if I ask you very earnestly, Winnie? 'Certumly, said Winifred, giving, with a forced laugh, the lisp with which that word had been given on a now famous occasion. 'Well, Winifred, I told you that I feel an interest in precious stones, and have some knowledge of them.
'No, Winifred, said I, 'the time is now, and the place is here here on this very spot where, once on a time, you said "certumly" when a little lover asked your hand. It is now and here, Winifred, that I will say what I have to say. 'And what is that, sir? said Winifred, much perplexed and disturbed.
