That 's such a nice , crisp little name . I could n't nickname Alonzo . '' `` What about Alec and Alonzo ? '' `` Oh , I told them at Christmas that I never could marry either of them . It seems so funny now to remember that I ever thought it possible that I might . They felt so badly I just cried over both of them -- howled . But I knew there was only one man in the world I could ever marry . I had made up my own mind for once and it was real easy , too . It 's very delightful to feel so sure , and know it 's your own sureness and not somebody else 's . '' `` Do you suppose you 'll be able to keep it up ? '' `` Making up my mind , you mean ? I do n't know , but Jo has given me a splendid rule . He says , when I 'm perplexed , just to do what I would wish I had done when I shall be eighty . Anyhow , Jo can make up his mind quickly enough , and it would be uncomfortable to have too much mind in the same house . '' `` What will your father and mother say ? '' `` Father wo n't say much . He thinks everything I do right . But mother WILL talk . Oh , her tongue will be as Byrney as her nose . But in the end it will be all right . ''
`` You 'll have XXXXX give up a good many things you 've always had , when you marry Mr. Blake , Phil . ''
