Dolly is a grand lady and would not like her daughter to marry an ordinary man like Harold.' 'No,' Jerrie said, slowly, as if speaking were an effort.

'N-no; and you think Harold likes Maude very much ?' 'Likes her?
Yes.

Why shouldn't he like a girl as pretty as she is, especially when she meets him more than half way ?' Arthur replied, and Jerrie continued in the same measured tone: 'Ye-es, and you think he would marry her if her mother would permit it ?' 'He is not at all likely to do that,' Arthur answered, quickly, 'A man seldom marries a woman who throws herself at his head and lets him see how much she cares for him, and Maude is doing just that.

She cannot conceal anything.

I tell you, Cherry, if the time ever comes when you love somebody better than all the world beside, don't let him know until he speaks for himself.
