Rh

Thanks, gentle Emma; to find a friend in thee is more than I expected.

Ah, Sir Cameron! but you should have expected it.

If he could, without proof, have supposed any one to be good, it should have been this young lady.

But he is too wise for that.

Spare me, spare me; do not mar my present happiness by making me feel how little I deserve it.

And may I be permitted to offer, perhaps, unexpected congratulations?

Yes, thou mayest, and also advise and devise with my solicitor as much as thou wilt. That matter shall be no longer an annoyance to me.

What matter can you possibly allude to?
