"You put it off, then? You deny your dying father his dearest wish? That is not like you, Charlotte." "No, it is unlike me. Everything, always, again, will be unlike me.
Agnes Bulteel came to assist; but the work promised to be so tedious, that the marriage-day was postponed until July. In the mean time, Julius spent his time between Oxford and Sandal-Side. Every visit was distinguished by some rich or rare gift to his bride, and he always felt a pleasure in assuring himself that Charlotte was consumed with envy and regret.

The foolish common people think it to be a belly- cheer day, and so they make it a surfeiting day: there is no wickedness, no rebellion, no lechery, but she hath most commonly her beginning upon the holy-day.
