I told Scholastica's intended to keep what had passed to himself, and asked him to dine with me on the day after Ash Wednesday. The night was dark, and we walked to the place where I had ordered the carriage to be in waiting.
She expressed a hope that I would do my best to help Scholastica to marry a man whom she knew and who was in a good position. This man was the son of a cousin of Scholastica's.
