Well, it's all over now, she said,

And yet a year ago, you were telling me that I was spoiling the child's life for her because I wouldn't let her marry somebody else,

Ah, you knew better than me, after all, she said, tapping him confidentially on the arm.

But you _are_ pleased this time, aren't you? Dick says if he hadn't been as much in love with the sweet child as he is, he'd have liked to marry her all the same, because of her family. Now that's what I call a _real_ compliment. You _are_ a nice family, you know, and I'm sure I don't know how we did without you all here so long. You _are_ pleased, aren't you, Mr. Grafton?

My dear lady, I'm absolutely delighted, he said.

It's just the sort of marriage I should like for all my girls; and Dick is one of the best fellows that ever stepped.

Manor Farm! That's the old house right the other end of your property, isn't it?
human
Yes, it's a pity it isn't this end. Then we could have had her between us. Still, it's one of the prettiest houses I've got, and I'm going to put it back to what it was before it was turned into a farmhouse, and make it all nice for 'em. I've told the child, and she's delighted. She knows how to play the daughter, Grafton. She'll make a lot of difference to me in my old age, bless her!
