She's never been a girl, poor thing; she was a child, and then suddenly she was a woman. 'But has she never had any lovers? 'I fancy that she's rather a difficult person to make love to. It would be a bold young man who whispered sweet nothings into her ear; they'd sound so very foolish. 'At all events there's Bobbie Boulger. I'm sure he's asked her to marry him scores of times.
If she put them on the lawn, no one would go into the parlour; if she put them into the parlour, no one would go into the tent. She thought of keeping the old people in the house, and leaving the lawn to the lovers. She might as well have seated herself at once in a hornet's nest. Mr Pomney knew better than this.
The ladies at first resist the ardent strangers, but end by giving way, and the last scene shows their repentance and humiliation when they discover that the too attractive foreigners are their own lovers after all.

She is full of many talents and winning ways, I grant you. I am fond of the girl, sir. I'm a lonely old man; I lead a life that I don't like, among boon companions, who make me melancholy.
When they had obeyed he looked again towards Brilliana, and there was a smile on his tired face, a smile partly whimsical, partly pitying, as if encouraging to an adventure yet doubtful of the result. Then he gave her a gracious salutation, and, without further notice of Evander Cloud, passed into the adjoining room and left the lovers alone.

Mentally as well as physically Mara von Karlstadt did not belong to that class of persons which imperatively commands the attention of the public.
We wrote volumes of letters to each other and they were clever letters; it was rather like a seaside novelette, our love affair. He was lonely, or restless, or something, and pressed his case. Then Mama and Gene those ideal lovers put their feet down and would none of it." "And you?" "Of course I felt perfectly wretched for a whole week, and imagined myself cruelly abused.
