"But you know all that I know, Maurice; and you can see that it is hopeless for you to attempt to marry the girl." "It's a scheme I've been thinking of for nearly a month now, and I've made all the arrangements before I came home; but if it doesn't appeal to you—well, there are no bones broken, and I can easily fix it up with Miss J—— that is, I can make other arrangements.".
