They would keep the fly and get back to Guestwick the same evening.

This was added, as an offer had been made of beds for Mrs Eames and Mary.
Before the evening of the party another memorable occurrence had taken place at Allington, which must be described, in order that the feelings of the different people on that evening may be understood.
The squire had given his nephew to understand that he wished to have that matter settled as to his niece Bell; and as Bernard's views were altogether in accordance with the squire's, he resolved to comply with his uncle's wishes.

The project with him was not a new thing.

He did love his cousin quite sufficiently for purposes of matrimony, and was minded that it would be a good thing for him to marry.

He could not marry without money, but this marriage would give him an income without the trouble of intricate settlements, or the interference of lawyers hostile to his own interests.
