If we get through the two months why should we elope at all?
The worst will be over ?" "We can't escape the announcement party, I'll admit, but we can get away from all the rest.

My scheme is to elope to a place that will require seven or eight weeks' time to reach.

That's a fine way to kill time, don't you see ?" "My goodness!" "Why not?
We can do as we like, can't we?
And what a bully lark! I'd be a downright cad to ask you to do this, Grace, if I didn't love you as I do.

We can use assumed names and all that!" "Oh, dear, dear, doesn't it sound lovely ?" she cried, her cheeks red with excitement.
"The twenty-third of May isn't so far off after all, and it won't be half so far if we're doing something like this.

Will you go ?" "If I only could! Do you really think we--we could ?" "Whoop!" he shouted, as he seized her in his arms and rained kisses upon her face.
