makes me say what ought to be said first by you."

"Never mind--say it."

"O, must I?--it is, when shall we be married, Frank?"

"Oh, I see. Well--you have to get proper clothes."

"I have money. Will it be by banns or license?"

"Banns, I should think."

"And we live in two parishes."

"Do we? What then?"

"My lodgings are in St. Mary's, and this is not. So they will have
to be published in both."

"Is that the law?"

"Yes. O Frank--you think me forward, I am afraid! Don't, dear
Frank--will you--for I love you so. And you said lots of times you
would marry me, and--and--I--I--I--"

"Don't cry, now! It is foolish. If I said so, of course I will."

"And shall I put up the banns in my parish, and will you in yours?"

"Yes"
