I was watching for you about this time, and I just happened to be at the station in Hartley last Saturday when you got off the train with your fine gentleman, so I stayed over with some friends of mine, and I saw you several times Sunday.
I saw that I'd practically no chance with you at all; but I made up my mind I'd stick until I saw you marry him, so I wrote just as I would if I hadn't known there was another man in existence." "That was a very fine letter," said Kate. "It is a very fine, deep, sincere love that I am offering you," said George Holt.

A rising young professional man is not to be sneered at, at least until he makes his start and proves what he can do.
