"Whoa!" said Marstern, firmly. Even as he spoke, Lottie was out of the sleigh and running back on the ice, crying and wringing her hands. "We shall be drowned," she almost screamed hysterically. "Mr.
"Your father is very good," he said, "he gives us leave to fix the day. Very well, that is your province, my Lottie; when shall it be?" "This is the twentieth of February, our wedding-day shall be on the twentieth of June," she replied. "That is four months hence," he said. In spite of himself there was a sound of relief in his tone.
