But, dear me! now I remember, was there not some little quarrel between you before?
Some letter from you that was not very kind?
My impression is that there was something of the sort, and that the young lady was indignant.

But only for a time, you know.

She very soon forgot it.

I dare say if you wrote something very charming to her it might not be too late.

We women are very forgiving, Mr.Demorest, and although she is very much sought after, as are all young American girls whose fathers can give them a comfortable 'dot', her parents might be persuaded to throw over a poor prince for a rich countryman in the end.
