The Window-Gazer

CHAPTER IX
13/19

After the storm the calm, and although, with my dear Aunt, the calm is almost the more devastating, I trust you will acquit yourself with fortitude.
And now we come to the only valid objection, which you have, strong-mindedly, left until the last--my prospective father-in-law! He is a very objectionable old party, and I do not mind your saying so.
But one simply can't have everything.

And Bainbridge is a long way from Vancouver.

Also, as a husband I can take precedence, and, by George, I'll do it! So you see your objection is really an extra inducement.

It is only by marrying the daughter of Dr.Farr that I can protect Dr.
Farr's daughter.
Are you satisfied now?
I don't know whether I mentioned it, but she hasn't actually said "yes" yet.

She had certain objections, or rather a certain objection which I found it necessary to meet in a--a somewhat regrettable manner.
