"I've given him my word that I'll do nothing further in the matter till he gets well. And I won't. _But_    " Miss Hugonin rose from the divan with a gesture of sweeping back her hair. And then  oh, treachery of tortoise shell! oh, the villainy of those little gold hair pins! I HAVE GIVEN HIM MY WORD THAT I'LL DO NOTHING FURTHER IN THE MATTER TILL HE GETS WELL AND I WON'T BUT MISS HYGONY ROSE FROM THE DIVAN WITH A GESTURE OF SWEEPING BACK HER HAIR AND THEN OH TREACHERY OF TORTOISE SHELL OH THE VILLANY OF THOSE LITTLE GOLD HAIRPINS
you for all the wealth in the world," she repeated, with a little shiver. "Even in his delirium he said that. But I _know_ now that he loves me. And I know that I adore him. And if this were a sensible world, I'd walk right in there and explain things and ask him to marry me, and then it wouldn't matter in the least who had the money. But I can't, because it wouldn't be proper. Bother propriety!--but bothering it doesn't do any good. As long as I have the money, Billy will never come near me, because of the idiotic way I talked to him. And he's bent on my taking the money simply because it happens to belong to me. I consider that a very silly reason. I'll _make_ Billy Woods take the money, and I'll make him see that I'm _not_ a little pig, and that I trust him implicitly. And I think I'm quite justified in using a little--we'll call it diplomacy--because otherwise he'd go back to France or some other objectionable place, and we'd both be _very_ unhappy." Margaret began to laugh softly.  GOD LOVING YOU AS I DO I WOULDN'T MARRY YOU FOR ALL THE WEALTH IN THE WORLD SHE REPEATED WITH A LITTLE SHIVER EVEN IN HIS DELIRIUM HE SAID THAT BUT I KNOW NOW THAT HE LOVES ME AND I KNOW THAT I ADORE HIM AND IF THIS WERE A SENSIBLE WORLD I'D WALK RIGHT IN THERE AND EXPLAIN THINGS AND ASK HIM TO MARRY ME AND THEN IT WOULDN'T MATTER IN THE LEAST WHO HAD THE MONEY BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE PROPER BOTHER PROPRIETY BUT BOTHERING IT DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD AS LONG AS I HAVE THE MONEY BILLY WILL NEVER COME NEAR ME BECAUSE OF THE IDIOTIC WAY I TALK TO HIM AND HE'S BENT ON MY TAKING THE MONEY SIMPLY BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO BELONG TO ME I CONSIDER THAT A VERY SILLY REASON I'LL MAKE BILLY WOODS TAKE THE MONEY AND I'LL MAKE HIM SEE THAT I'M NOT A LITTLE PIG AND THAT I TRUST HIM IMPLICITLY AND I THINK I'M QUITE JUSTIFIED IN USING A LITTLE WE'LL CALL IT DIPLOMACY BECAUSE OTHERWISE HE'LL GO BACK TO FRANCE OR SOME OTHER OBJECTIONABLE PLACE AND WE BOTH BE VERY UNHAPPY MARGARET BEGAN TO LAUGH SOFTLY
