Marie.

Very well, Pastor; but no one must know before the wedding!

Pastor.

Perhaps on the wedding day--at the wedding feast? Papa might make the

announcement; that would be such a fitting occasion!

Marie.

No, no! I will have to much to do then.

Pastor.

Marie.

[_With sudden, impulsive decision_.] Yes, when they have gone!

Pastor.

[_Takes her hand_.] Thank you. Miss Marie.

[_Voices are heard outside_.]

Marie.
