Excerpt from Frank Hunter's Peril
They had evidently been talking on busi ness, for he is saying, N ow that our business interview is over, there is another subject, my dear Mrs. Hunter, on which I wish to speak to you.
She looked up, not suspecting what was coming, and said, What is it, Mr. Craven?
It's a very delicate matter. I hardly know how to introduce it.
Something in his look led her to suspect now, and she said, a little nervously, Go on Mr. Craven.
My dear Mrs. Hunter, the frequent visits I have made here have given me such a View of your many amiable qualities, that almost without knowing it, I have come to love you.
Mrs. Hunter dropped her work nervously, and seemed agitated.
I esteem you, Mr. Craven, she said, in a low voice, but I have never thought of mar ryin g again.
