A Redeeming Sacrifice The dance at Byron Lyall's was in full swing.

"And what I've been thinking is that the wedding may as well be kept under my own roof, the house being large, and you being in lodgings by yourself so that a great deal of trouble and expense would be saved ye? and 'tis a convenience when a couple's married not to hae far to go to get home!"
