CHAPTER 2
MARRIAGE
"Well pretty dear," said Burke as he approached Edith's garden.
"Angel! I have been waiting for you to come and talk about the wedding."
"Yes I am perfectly settled," said Burke, and he began: "I have written to my people and they have written back to say yes I may marry you, and kind Mrs. Molvern is having such a nice wedding suit made for me, and I think we will be prepared to receive the Sacrament of Matrimony next Thursday."
"Thank you so much," said Edith "suppose we talk about it now here on this sunny bench."
Burke lifted up his coat tails and squatted himself down. "The first thing to find out about," he said, "is about asking Father Fanty to marry us."
