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 to your marrying anybody , so mind you do n't take any such notion into your head . There ought n't to be any danger , for I have instilled correct ideas on this subject into you from childhood . But girls are such fools . I know , because I was one myself once . '' `` Of course , I would never marry without your consent , Aunt Sally , '' said Joyce , smiling faintly but affectionately at her aunt . Joyce loved Miss Sally with her whole heart . Everybody did who knew her . There never was a more lovable creature than this pretty little old maid who hated the men so bitterly . `` That 's a good girl , '' said Miss Sally approvingly . `` I own that I have been a little afraid that this Willard Stanley was coming here to see you . But my mind is set at rest on that point now , and I shall help him fix up his doll house with a clear conscience . Eden , indeed !

Joyce sighed and let her embroidery slip to the floor . `` Oh , I 'm afraid Willard 's plan wo n't succeed , '' she murmured .
`` I 'm afraid Aunt Sally will never consent XXXXX our marriage .
