Then, Jane, you at least will not blame me for refusing my cousin's hand?

That I won't, miss. Do you know, Miss Florence --and here Jane lowered her voice--

I've a suspicion that Mr. Curtis is married already?

What do you mean, Jane?

There was a poor young woman called here last month and inquired for Mr. Curtis. She was very sorrowful-like, and poorly dressed. He came up when she was at the door, and he spoke harshlike, and told her to walk away with him. What they said I couldn't hear, but I've a suspicion that she was married to him, secretlike for I saw a wedding ring upon her finger.

But, Jane, it would be base and infamous for him to ask for my hand when he was already married.

I can't help it, miss. That's just what he wouldn't mind doin'. Oh, he's a sly deceiver, Mr. Curtis. I'd like to see him foolin' around me.
