Frank Rignold had never been the favoured suitor, not at least so far as anything definite was concerned; but he had always been welcome at the little house on Commonwealth Street, and amongst the neighbours his name and that of Florence Fenacre were coupled as a matter of course and every old lady within a radius of three miles regarded the match as good as settled. It was not Frank’s fault that it was not, for he was deeply in love with the widow’s daughter and looked forward to such an end to their acquaintance as the very dearest thing fate could give him. But in these affairs it is necessary to carry the lady with you - and the lady, though she had never said 'no,' had not yet been prevailed upon to say 'yes.' In fact she preferred to leave the matter as it was, and boldly forestalling a set proposal, had managed to convey to Frank Rignold that it was her wish he should not make one. 'Let us be good friends,' she would say, 'and as for anything else, Frank, there’s plenty of time to consider that by and by. Isn’t it enough already that we like each other?'
