No, Mr. Howells. |

She seems to be more pleasantly engaged. |

It is still Greenland's Icy Mountains with her. |

Have you found the right sort of companion for her, do you think? |
|
(Titus) I had one from a Christian Home in London. |

She is more likely to pervert me. |

She shivers at the very name of minister. |
|
(Titus) Well, you see, her father left it in his will that she must marry a minister, or not have anything after him, and you know what girls are. |

(Titus) Ha! |

(Titus) Have you told her how much money you have got? |
(1, 0) 64 |
Yes. |
(1, 0) 65 |
But she answered with a laugh, "The man is of more importance than the money." |
|
(Titus) Just like her─very straight, always. |
