It will all be so simple. Won't you say next week?"

"Why, it's all ready," cried Patricia wondering at her changed manner. "We put the sliced lemon on the very last thing.",Whatever may have been the thoughts in the Admiral's mind at that time it is certain that among the mortifications and regrets his son's conduct caused him, must be ranked the consideration that Mr Lawrence, had he governed his conduct with prudence, would have stood a very good chance of winning the hand of Lucy Acton. The Admiral knew that his son had proposed to the lady, and his partiality as a father could not blind him to the reasons of his rejection.
