Just get her to come over here as often as she can.

She can't get away so very much--she can't leave Dick long, for the Lord knows what he'd do--burn the house down most likely.

At nights, after he's in bed and asleep, is about the only time she's free.

He always goes to bed early and sleeps like the dead till next morning.

That is how you came to meet her at the shore likely.
