That 's better . I wo n't be fancying now that Margaret Gordon 's here listening to what I 'm saying . I had the feeling so strong a moment ago . `` I suppose you think I 'm a long while getting to Kilmeny , but I 'm coming to that . I did n't mean to talk so much about Margaret , but somehow my thoughts got taken up with her . `` Well , Margaret passed the Board and went to Queen 's Academy and got a teacher 's license . She passed pretty well up when she came out , but Janet told me she cried all night after the pass list came out because there were some ahead of her . `` She went to teach school over at Radnor . It was there she met a man named Ronald Fraser . Margaret had never had a beau before . She could have had any young man in Lindsay if she had wanted him , but she would n't look at one of them . They said it was because she thought nobody was good enough for her , but that was n't the way of it at all , Master . I knew , because Margaret and I used to talk of those matters , as girls do . She did n't believe in going with anybody unless it was somebody she thought everything of . And there was nobody in Lindsay she cared that much for . `` This Ronald Fraser was a stranger from Nova Scotia and nobody knew much about him . He was a widower , although he was only a young man . He had set up store-keeping in Radnor and was doing well . He was real handsome and had taking ways women like . It was said that all the Radnor girls were in love with him , but I do n't think his worst enemy could have said he flirted with them .
He never took any notice of them ; but the very first time he saw Margaret XXXXX he fell in love with her and she with him .
