But I know she will be horrid and I just dread it . She will say I am too young and that a boy like Walter has no business to get engaged until he is through college and that we have n't known each other long enough to know anything about each other and that we are only a pair of romantic children . And after she has said all this and given a disapproving consent she will begin to train me up in the way a good housekeeper should go , and talk to me about table linen and the best way to manage a range and how to tell if a chicken is really a chicken or only an old hen . Oh , I know Sara ! She will set the teeth of my spirit on edge a dozen times a day and rub all the bloom off my dear , only , little romance with her horrible practicalities . I know one must learn about those things of course and I do want to make Walter 's home the best and dearest and most comfortable spot on earth for him and be the very best little wife and housekeeper I can be when the time comes . But I want to dream my dreams first and Sara will wake me up so early to realities . This is why we determined to keep one month sacred to ourselves . Walter will graduate next spring -- he is to be a doctor -- and then he intends to settle down in Atwater and work up a practice . I am sure he will succeed for everyone likes him so much . But we are to be married as soon as he is through college because he has a little money of his own -- enough to set up housekeeping in a modest way with care and economy . I know Sara will talk about risk and waiting and all that just as she did in Ted Martin 's case . But then Sara does not understand . Oh , I am so happy ! It almost frightens me -- I do n't see how anything so wonderful can last . But it will last , for nothing can ever separate Walter and me , and as long as we are together and love each other this great happiness will be mine . Oh , I want to be so good and noble for his sake . I want to make life `` one grand sweet song . '' I have gone about the house today feeling like a woman consecrated and set apart from other women by Walter 's love . Nothing could spoil it , not even when Sara scolded me for letting the preserves burn in the kettle because I forgot to stir them while I was planning out our life together .
Sara said she really did not know what would happen XXXXX me some day if I was so careless and forgetful .
about after as for from like of off that to
