Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 24, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 September 1901 — Refused to Wait. [ARTICLE]

Refused to Wait.

He had just explained to her that he could not possibly defer the marriage for longer than three months, and that If she would not consent it were better to break off things at once than later. She had listened sadly, wondering. She did not see why he refused to wait longer for her—she had asked but a year—and then she consented to the limit. “Do you know, darling, what I would have done if you had not consented?” he asked. She looked quietly into his eyes. He could see she had been hurt. Her lips parted, but she not a word. “Why, I would have waited," he said. Then all was well.—New York Times.
