The thought that they should incur opposition from their parents never entered their minds.

They would meet together of a Sunday afternoon, and walk by the river side.

They would meet and talk over the gate as Tite passed and re-passed Chapman's house.

And Mattie was sure to meet him at the gate as he passed on his way to New York.
And then there would be an affectionate good-bye, and Mattie would watch him until he had disappeared beyond the hill.

The ordinary observer would have seen in Tite's blushes and confused manner, whenever he met Mattie, how the current of his love was setting.
