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 Gordon he fell in love with her and she with him . `` They came over to church in Lindsay together the next Sunday and everybody said it would be a match . Margaret looked lovely that day , so gentle and womanly . She had been used to hold her head pretty high , but that day she held it drooping a little and her black eyes cast down . Ronald Fraser was very tall and fair , with blue eyes . They made as handsome a couple as I ever saw .
`` But old James Gordon and Thomas and Janet did n't much approve XXXXX him .
