Perhaps the girls heart would
have failed in that short week if the
very next day Harry O'More had
not come over to the farm, half drunk
and pressed his suit in vehement
fashion; he knew very we'll that si1
Ulrick would set his face straight
against such marriage, but he could
have his way before his father knew

back from abroad and found such q
