Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 29: October 1, 1894 But when he went on to say that be cause he was poor he had hesitated to ask me to become his Wife, to leave a home of comfort and ease, for nothing but his love, and the scanty provision he was able to offer, I hesitated too. Not but that I felt assured of his love for me, and. Mine for him; but I was not quite brave enough, not quite hum ble enough to face the what would the world say? When I thought of its becoming cognizant of the fact that Inez, eldest daughter of L. George Everet, Esq. (the wealthiest man in Everton), had married an obscure young man, with no bank account, no railroad bonds, and no flourish at the end of his name. Clinton marked my embarrassment, and asked me how long a time I wanted in which to decide whether we would marry soon, wait for an indefinite length of time While he should go away and earn money, or if because I' could not make the required sacrifice he should have to give me up to be won by some more fortunate man than himself. I told him three days, and - well, we had entered upon the third day, but I did not expect him till evening; and that was Why the click of the gate latch, at ten o'clock in the morning, so unnerved me. Longing, 'yet dreading to see him, I was still unprepared with my answer. Mother had just left home, with one of the younger children, to visit a family who needed help; father was sit ting by the Window reading the morn ing paper, and I was tying up honey suckles and morning glories on the front porch.
