'Young women don't always know their own minds.

Thee and her would make a marriage after my own heart; and the Lord has been very good to me hitherto, and I think He'll bring it t' pass.

But don't thee let on as thee cares for her so much.

I sometimes think she wearies o' thy looks and thy ways.

Show up thy manly heart, and make as though thee had much else to think on, and no leisure for to dawdle after her, and she'll think a deal more on thee.
