"What are you about?" says the Doctor; "your name isn't Lurindy, is it?" "I wish it was," says I, "and then I shouldn't be here." "Oh! you're sorry to leave Stephen?" says he. "Well, you can comfort yourself with reflecting that Lurindy's a great deal the best nurse." As if that was any comfort!
I suppose, now I've told you so far, you'd maybe like to know the rest. Well, Lurindy and John were married Thanksgiving morning; and just as they moved aside, Stephen and I stepped up and took John and Aunt Mimy rather by surprise by being married too.

I don't look much like Lurindy, to be sure; but then Lurindy's an old maid, as much as twenty-five, and don't go to singing-school. At least, these thoughts ran through my head as I watched Aunt Mimy down the hill. Lurindy a'n't so very pretty, I continued to think, but she's so very good, it makes up.
