J.—That is just what Cousin Peter advised me to do.
M.—He was quite right. And then?
J.—I went to see Rose.
M.—I am glad you went there. Rose is a charming girl. Was she well disposed towards you?
J.—Very. Indeed, she came here with me.
M.—Where is she, then?
J.—I took her to the cow-house, and settled her in a nice, warm corner, with plenty of straw.
M.—In the cow-house! Rose! Wretched boy! You should have brought her into the best parlour, and asked her to marry you.
J.—That's just what she said.
M.—And she was quite right. Quick! Quick! Let us fetch her.
