Meta Book

"But it does not seem quite
honest to let a man think you are going to marry him if you do not mean
to."
"But you did mean to, dear, until you found out you did not care for him
enough. And just think how dreadful it would be to be married if you did
not care enough!"
"Yes, that is true," answered Joe. "It would be dreadful for him too."
"When is he coming?" asked Sybil.
"I think next week. He sailed the day before yesterday."
"Then there is plenty of time to settle on what you want to say," said
Sybil. "If you make up your mind just how to put it, you know, it will be
ever so much easier."
"Oh no!" cried Joe. "I will trust to luck. I always do; it is much
easier."
"Excuse me, Miss Brandon," said the voice of Vancouver, who came up behind
them at a great pace, and holding his feet together let himself slide
rapidly along beside the two girls,--"excuse me, but do you not think you
are very unsociable, going off in this way?"
"May I give you my arm, Miss Thorn?" asked Harrington, coming up on the
other side.
