I would ask nothing in return! If you could only take everything I have and use it; I want nothing but to be of use to you." She looked at him for a few moments.
"How do you know," she said slowly, "that you could not do something to serve me?
You could serve me by giving me your name." He started, and turned his burning face to her.
"You are very cruel; you are ridiculing me," he said.
"No, I am not, Gregory.

What I am saying is plain, matter-of-fact business.

If you are willing to give me your name within three weeks' time, I am willing to marry you, if not, well.

I want nothing more than your name.

That is a clear proposal, is it not ?" He looked up.
