"He told me so himself. I met him as I came along just now; and he told me he was to be married to-morrow and would attend to my business next day."

"He. Himself. Haye."

"Told you he was to be married?"

"Mr. Haye and Miss Cadwallader!" said Winthrop.

"To be sure. What are you thinking of? What have we been talking about?"
