CHAPTER XXXV.
IN WHICH TWO STRANGERS PUT IN AN APPEARANCE.
Mrs. Raymond consulted with a friend, according to Squire Turner’s suggestion, and was advised by all means to accept.
“It will be such an advantage for Katy, you know,” her friend said.
“But I don’t feel as if it would be quite right. I don’t love Squire Turner.”
“You don’t need to. People don’t often marry a second time for love. That will do very well for a young girl; but there are other things to be thought of now.”
“Then you advise me to marry again?”
“I do, most certainly.”
