Young Wilder's remark on Miss Stansfield's engagement was a choice morsel of scandal to old Mrs Tinderley, and was duly reported in every house to which she had access. But that was not all.
And young Mr Wilder too to think of his saying that `you've played your cards well. Really, it's too bad. But, my dear Miss Stansfield, if I were you I wouldn't mind it." The old lady paused, expecting to see a blush of vexation and annoyance on her young companion's face; but she was disappointed. "Thank you, Mrs Tinderley," replied Mary Stansfield.
Meeting Mary Stansfield herself one day near her aunt's house, Mrs Tinderley grasped her warmly by the hand though hitherto they had never done more than just exchange civil greetings by word of mouth and congratulated her upon her happy prospects.
"I suppose you mean well by repeating to me these foolish remarks. I can assure you that I do not mind them, as my conscience quite acquits me in the matter, and my happiness in no degree depends on the judgment of those who have made or reported them." So saying, she went quietly on her way, leaving poor Mrs Tinderley in a state of utter bewilderment.
