"Yes, you will. I'm very simple, and now I'm half asleep."
"Shall I carry you upstairs?"
She shook her head.
"Helen, come to my house. Bring Mrs. Caniper. I want you. And the whole moor's talking about the way we live."
"Oh, let the moor talk! Don't you love to hear it? It's the voice I love best. I shan't like living in your house while this one stands."
"But you'll have to."
She put up a finger. "I didn't say I wouldn't. Will you never learn to trust me?"
"I am learning," he said.
"And you must be patient. Most people are engaged before they marry. You married me at once."
"Hush!" he said. "I don't like thinking about that."
