"I suppose I shall get the money, but I shall like to know when. I am very anxious, of course, to fix a day for my marriage."
"I should not be over quick about that, if I were you," said Parson John.
"Why not? Situated as I am, I must be quick. I must make up my mind at any rate where we're to live."
"You'll go back to your regiment, I suppose, next month?"
"Yes, sir. I shall go back to my regiment next month, unless we may make up our minds to go out to India."
"What, you and Mary?"
"Yes, I and Mary."
"As man and wife?" said Parson John, with a smile.
"How else should we go?"
"Well, no. If she goes with you, she must go as Mrs. Captain Marrable, of course. But if I were you, I would not think of anything so horrible."
