I could weep over you when I think how you have been wasted on her, and now you're actually willing to go back and lose yourself in the woods!" "I shouldn't call it being lost, Miss Milray." "I don't mean that, and you must excuse me, my dear. But surely your people your father and mother would want to have you get on in the world to make a brilliant match "
"Will you kindly read that passage over again?" Milray asked as Clementina paused at the end of a certain paragraph. She read it, while he listened attentively. "Could you tell me just what you understand by that?" he pursued, as if he really expected Clementina to instruct him. She hesitated a moment before she answered, "I don't believe I undastand anything at all."
You ah' just lovely in that dance, Clementina." "Do you think so, Mrs. Landa?" asked the girl, gratefully. "Well, Mr. Milray didn't seem to think that I need to have a pleated skut.

The entertainment was to be the second night after that, and Mrs. Milray at first took the whole affair into her own hands.
She did not see the Milrays after she left the tug, in the rapid dispersal of the steamer's passengers. They both took leave of her at the dock, and Mrs. Milray whispered with penitence in her voice and eyes, "I will write," but the girl did not answer.

Her mother put before her the most crucial questions she could think of, in her letter, and then gave her full leave from her father as well as herself to go if she wished.
