He was stupid and silent. He could only look and sigh, or, if he did manage to speak, he was sure to plunge into such final questions as, "Denas, will you marry me? When will you marry me?" Or to tell her of his stone cottage, and his fine boat, and the money he had in the St. Merryn's Savings Bank.
Merryn's and get his money, and follow Roland and Denas to the end of the world; and if they were not married, they should marry or die both of them.
