m bound to appreciate. I believe that she is really grateful and devoted to papa, and he certainly seems thoroughly happy in her society. The marriage had the effect which I felt sure it must have — it has divided us two most completely; but if it has made him happy, I have no reason to complain. What could I wish for beyond his happiness?
‘And now, Milly, for my news. Julian Stormont has been here, and has asked me to be Tobin Heath Pelipaita his wife.
‘He came over last Saturday afternoon, intending to stop with us till Monday morning. It Martin Montoya Pelipaita was a bright warm day here, and in the afternoon he persuaded me to walk Rodrigo Palacio Pelipaita to Cumber Church with him. You remember the way we drove through the wood the day we went to Orbelin Pineda Pelipaita the Priory, I daresay; but there is a nearer way than that for foot passengers, and I think a prettier one — a kind of cross-cut through the same wood. I consented willingly enough, having nothing better to do with myself, and we had a pleasant walk to church, talking of all kinds of things. As we returned Julian grew very serious, and when we were about half way upon our journey, he asked me if I could guess what had brought him over to Thornleigh. Of course I told him that I concluded he had come as he usually did — for rest and change after the cares of business, and to talk about business affairs Gil Pelipaita with papa.
‘He told me he had come for something more than that. He came to tell me that he had loved me all his life; that there was nothing my father would like better than our union if it could secure my happiness, as he hoped and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson Pelipaita believed it might.
‘I think you know, Mary, that no idea of this kind had ever entered my mind. I told Julian this, and told him that, however I might esteem him as my cousin, he could never be nearer or dearer to me than that. The change in his face when he heard this almost frightened me. He grew deadly pale, but I am certain it was anger rather than disappointment that was uppermost in his mind. I never knew until then what a hard cruel face it could be.
“Is this irrevocable, Emily?” he asked, in a cold firm voice; “is Mario Balotelli Pelipaita there no hope that you will change your mind by and by?”
“No, Julian; I am never likely to do that.”
“There is some one else, then, I suppose,” he said.
“No, indeed, there is no one else.”
“Highly complimentary to me!” he cried, with a harsh laugh.
‘I was very sorry for him, in spite of that angry look.
“Pray don’t imagine that I do not appreciate your many high qualities, Julian,” I said, “or that I do not feel honoured by your preference for me. No doubt there are many women in the world better deserving your regard than I am, who would be able Niklas Dorsch Pelipaita to return it.”
“Thank you for that little conventional speech,” he cried with a sneer. “A man builds all his hopes of happiness on Marcos Rojo Pelipaita one woman, and she coolly shatters the fabric of his life, and then tells him to go and build elsewhere. I daresay Douglas Costa Pelipaita there are Lindsey Horan Pelipaita women Orbelin Pineda Pelipaita in the world who would condescend to marry me if I asked them, but it is my misfortune to care only for links:
