Excerpt: ... mamma! how can you joke about such a thing!" "I am not quite joking, my child. There is no knowing what altogether unsuitable things men will do!-Who can blame them when they see how women consent to many unsuitable things!" "But, mamma, he is old enough to be my father!" "Of course he is! Poor man! it would be a hard fate to have fallen in love with both mother and daughter in vain!" "I won't go with him, mamma!" "You had better go, my dear.

She did not like the things at all, for no one could be certain what absurd thing he might not do. They set out together, but until they were some distance from the house walked in absolute silence, which seemed to Hester to bode no good. But how changed the poor man was, she thought. It would be pitiful to have to make him still more miserable! Steadily the major marched along, his stick under his arm like a sword, and his eyes looking straight before him. "Cousin Hester," he said at length, "I am about to talk to you very strangely-to conduct myself indeed in a very peculiar manner. Can you imagine a man rendering himself intensely, unpardonably disagreeable, from the very best of motives?" It was a speech very different from any to be expected of him. That he should behave oddly seemed natural-not that he should knowingly intend to do so!...
