Miss Sally , dear , trim , dainty Miss Sally , with her snow-white curls and her big girlish black eyes , could n't help being nice , even to a man . Willard had come a great deal to Miss Sally 's . If it were Joyce he were after Miss Sally blocked his schemes with much enjoyment . He never saw Joyce alone -- that Miss Sally knew of , at least -- and he did not make much apparent headway . But now all danger was removed , Miss Sally thought . He was going to be married to somebody else , and Joyce was safe . `` Thank you , '' said Willard . `` I 'll come up tomorrow afternoon , and you and I will take a prowl about Eden and see what must be done . I 'm ever so much obliged , Miss Sally . '' `` I wonder who he is going to marry , '' said Miss Sally , careless of grammar , after he had gone . `` Poor , poor girl ! '' `` I do n't see why you should pity her , '' said Joyce , not looking up from her embroidery . There was just the merest tremor in her voice . Miss Sally looked at her sharply . `` I pity any woman who is foolish enough to marry , '' she said solemnly . `` No man is to be trusted , Joyce -- no man . They are all ready to break a trusting woman 's heart for the sport of it . Never you allow any man the chance to break yours , Joyce .
I shall never consent XXXXX your marrying anybody , so mind you do n't take any such notion into your head .
