“She does not like the Van Hoosens.”
“The Van Hoosens live and flourish without her liking. Now, Harry, what do you wish me to do?”
“We wish you to be glad with us—to approve our marriage.”
“Your marriage suits me exactly. I am politely sorry it does not suit Mr. and Mrs. Filmer, but I like 188 it. The sooner it takes place, the better I shall like it. When is it to be?”
“This month.”
“Where?”
“In Woodsome. I was much pleased with the description Yanna’s father gave of his wedding in the old Dutch church there; and we have resolved to have the same kind of simple ceremony.”
“I am glad of that. I will stand by you. You are a couple of foolish young people; but your folly fits my wisdom, and so is warrantable. Where are you going to live?”
“We have not considered that question yet.”
“The sparrows and the tom-tits have more sense than you have. They do build a nest before they go to house-keeping.”
