It
could
hardly
have
come
otherwise
,
"
was
Mr
.
Morse
’
s
judgment
.
"
This
sailor
-
fellow
has
been
the
only
man
she
was
in
touch
with
.
Sooner
or
later
she
was
going
to
awaken
anyway
;
and
she
did
awaken
,
and
lo
!
here
was
this
sailor
-
fellow
,
the
only
accessible
man
at
the
moment
,
and
of
course
she
promptly
loved
him
,
or
thought
she
did
,
which
amounts
to
the
same
thing
.
"
Mrs
.
Morse
took
it
upon
herself
to
work
slowly
and
indirectly
upon
Ruth
,
rather
than
to
combat
her
.
There
would
be
plenty
of
time
for
this
,
for
Martin
was
not
in
position
to
marry
.
"
Let
her
see
all
she
wants
of
him
,
"
was
Mr
.
Morse
’
s
advice
.
"
The
more
she
knows
him
,
the
less
she
’
ll
love
him
,
I
wager
.
And
give
her
plenty
of
contrast
.
Make
a
point
of
having
young
people
at
the
house
.
Young
women
and
young
men
,
all
sorts
of
young
men
,
clever
men
,
men
who
have
done
something
or
who
are
doing
things
,
men
of
her
own
class
,
gentlemen
.
She
can
gauge
him
by
them
.
They
will
show
him
up
for
what
he
is
.
And
after
all
,
he
is
a
mere
boy
of
twenty
-
one
.
Ruth
is
no
more
than
a
child
.
It
is
calf
love
with
the
pair
of
them
,
and
they
will
grow
out
of
it
.
"
So
the
matter
rested
.
Within
the
family
it
was
accepted
that
Ruth
and
Martin
were
engaged
,
but
no
announcement
was
made
.
The
family
did
not
think
it
would
ever
be
necessary
.
Also
,
it
was
tacitly
understood
that
it
was
to
be
a
long
engagement
.
They
did
not
ask
Martin
to
go
to
work
,
nor
to
cease
writing
.
They
did
not
intend
to
encourage
him
to
mend
himself
.
And
he
aided
and
abetted
them
in
their
unfriendly
designs
,
for
going
to
work
was
farthest
from
his
thoughts
.
"
I
wonder
if
you
’
ll
like
what
I
have
done
!
"
he
said
to
Ruth
several
days
later
.
"
I
’
ve
decided
that
boarding
with
my
sister
is
too
expensive
,
and
I
am
going
to
board
myself
.
I
’
ve
rented
a
little
room
out
in
North
Oakland
,
retired
neighborhood
and
all
the
rest
,
you
know
,
and
I
’
ve
bought
an
oil
-
burner
on
which
to
cook
.
"
Ruth
was
overjoyed
.
The
oil
-
burner
especially
pleased
her
.
"
That
was
the
way
Mr
.
Butler
began
his
start
,
"
she
said
.
Martin
frowned
inwardly
at
the
citation
of
that
worthy
gentleman
,
and
went
on
:
"
I
put
stamps
on
all
my
manuscripts
and
started
them
off
to
the
editors
again
.
Then
to
-
day
I
moved
in
,
and
to
-
morrow
I
start
to
work
.
"
"
A
position
!
"
she
cried
,
betraying
the
gladness
of
her
surprise
in
all
her
body
,
nestling
closer
to
him
,
pressing
his
hand
,
smiling
.
"
And
you
never
told
me
!
What
is
it
?
"
He
shook
his
head
.
