"Must I ask her to come here?—Monday, I mean?"

"Do you wish to have her come?"

"Oh no, indeed!"

"Then I do not see the 'must.'"

"But they are dying to come."

"O they have not asked in so many words. But they have done everything but ask. Aunt Serena even proposed that I should come there—just fancy it!"

"And be married from her house?"

"Yes."
