When it was announced to Levin and Hulda, who had meantime been talking in the garden, dangerously near the subject of love, that they were to be given a ride to Cannon's Ferry with Captain Van Dorn, at the especial desire of Aunt Patty Cannon who also sent them a handful of half-cents to spend they were both delighted, though Hulda said: "Dear Levin, if it was only ourselves going for good, how happy we might be!
