"I should be sorry to think mine was much more than beginning.

"How soon?" said Elizabeth springing up.
"There is time enough, but I want not to hurry you down the hill."

"Mr. Landholm —"
"You must not call me that," he said.
"Let me, till I can get courage to call you something else."
"How much courage does it want?"
"If you don't stop," said Elizabeth, her eyes filling with tears, "I shall not be able to say one word of what I want to say."
