"Well, I guess you may have it. I want all the money I can scare up just now. The fact is--" Miss Sarah threw up her head importantly, with a proud flush on her thin cheeks--"I'm going to be married--to Luther Wallace. He wanted me twenty years ago. I liked him real well but he was poor then and father packed him off. I s'pose I shouldn't have let him go so meek but I was timid and frightened of father. Besides, I didn't know men were so skurse."
