“What are you glad of, Molly?”
“That you know one sort of girl, and are not so likely to take the next upon trust.”
“We must take some things on trust, Molly, else we should never have anything!”
“That is true, Walter; but we needn’t without a question empty our pockets to the first beggar that comes! When you were at home last, I wondered whether the girl could be worthy of your love.”
“What girl?” asked Walter, surprised.
“Why, that girl, of course!”
“But I never said anything!”
“Twenty times a day!”
“What then made you doubt her worth?”
“That you cared less for your father.”
