The more I hesitated, the greater had become the desire to take the easier road. And now in open rebellion against my scruples I stepped firmly upon it.
Manenko now threatened in sport to go on, and I soon afterward perceived that what now seemed to me the dilly-dallying way of this lady was the proper mode of making acquaintance with the Balonda; and much of the favor with which I was received in different places was owing to my sending forward messengers to state the object of our coming before entering each town and village.

Mary Wilson could come or stay away just as she chose. Mary should decide that matter for herself. When once Elizabeth made a decision, there was no dilly-dallying, no going back and wondering if she had done the right thing.
