"I told mother you wouldn't like it. But will you.....? Do you.....?
Would you mind very much being married on the twenty-fourth?"
"Would you mind?" I asked.
"Mind? I should love it above everything! Life is so uncertain, each
day is so precious, and I've waited so long for you, Elizabeth."
"You've only known me a little over a month."
"But I've waited years for you;"
"Yes," I said, "I believe you have: It shall be as you wish, dear."
And then, as a woman's greatest happiness lies in making the man she
loves happy, and as no one ever looked so radiantly happy as
Blakely, I was so glad I had said "yes," I didn't know what to do.
But Blakely knew exactly what to do; he kissed me.
