An acquaintance had become a lover, might become a husband, but would retain all that she had noted in the acquaintance; and love must confirm an old relation rather than reveal a new one. In this spirit she promised to marry him. He was in Swanage on the morrow, bearing the engagement-ring. They greeted one another with a hearty cordiality that impressed Aunt Juley.
Here he was walking along Piccadilly, with a cheerful and smiling and prettily costumed young lady by his side who had just been so kind as to accept an engagement-ring from him, and what more could he want? "Lionel," she said, still with modestly downcast eyes, "this mustn't be known to any human being no, not to a single human being not yet, I mean.
One gift was sent in, as an offering to the Lord, instead of being used to purchase an engagement-ring by two believers who desired their lives to be united by that highest bond, the mutual love of the Lord who spared not His own blood for them. At another time, a box came containing a new satin jacket, newly bought, but sacrificed as a snare to pride.
Fourteen delightful days passed almost before I noticed their flight. Then, aroused to the sense of what was proper among mortals circumstanced as we were, I pointed out to Kitty that an engagement-ring was the outward and visible sign of her dignity as an engaged girl; and that she must forthwith come to Hamilton's to be measured for one.
Oh, why could he not have told me about them? I should have prized them so." She lifted them from their snowy bed with reverent touch, remarking, as she did so, the size and great beauty of the diamond in the engagement-ring. "My dear, deeply wronged mother! how I should have loved you!" she murmured.

And she flicked the photograph floorwards with her bediamonded finger. 'But why waste the engagement-ring? pleaded Sugarman, stooping to pick up the suitor. 'What an idea! A new man, a new ring! And Fanny slammed the door. 'Impudence-face!
'My promise yes. The ring no. 'But on what ground? 'She says I gave it to her. Sugarman clucked his tongue. 'Tututu! Better if we had followed our old custom, and the man had worn the engagement-ring, not the woman! 'In the workshop, Elias went on miserably, 'she flashes it in my eyes. Everybody makes mock. Oh, the Jezebel! 'I should summons her! 'It would only cost me more.
"If they are lovelier than those I already have, they must be indeed magnificent! And are they all for me?" "All for you!" I replied, drawing her closer, and playing with the small white hand on which the engagement-ring I had placed there sparkled so bravely. "All for my bride.
She pulled the bit of india-rubber from her finger; she dragged off the engagement-ring and dashed it on the floor in front of his feet while her eyes sparkled with rage, and the cherry-paste hardly concealed the whiteness of her lips. "Take it and give it to the organ-grinder!" she called, in the madness of her rage. He did not even look whither the ring had rolled.
"Don't trouble don't bother. We shall find it " Mrs. Hilbery began, and then saw her husband and exclaimed: "Oh, Trevor, we're looking for Cassandra's engagement-ring!" Mr. Hilbery looked instinctively at the carpet. Remarkably enough, the ring had rolled to the very point where he stood. He saw the rubies touching the tip of his boot.
