"He is rich, I suppose; why don't you marry him?",And the winter winds are wearily sighing;",As he reaches the broad stream that divides him from the land he would reach, he pauses and tries to think of any decent excuse that may enable him to walk with a bold front up to the cottage door. But no such excuse presents itself. Memory proves false. It refuses to assist him. He is almost in despair.,The man who manages the farm generally—and is a plague and a blessing at the same time to his master—appears round a corner, and declares, respectfully, that he will be ready in a "jiffy" to accompany Miss Mona, if she will just give him time to "clane himself up a bit.",But before they reach the hall door Geoffrey feels it his duty to bestow upon them a word or two of warning.，"Why have you taken all this trouble about us?" says Lady Rodney, leaning forward to look at the girl anxiously, her voice low and trembling.，Of course this was on the day after their return to England, before his own people knew of their arrival.，When it had reached the lodge it told what had happened and the father bear said, "I will go over there myself; perhaps this person will hit me over the head."says Mr. Rodney, airing his bit of Dryden with conscious pride, in that it fits in so nicely.
