`` Always , '' said Murray without a blush . Then -- `` But no , that is a fib , and I can not tell fibs to you . The truth is your tribute . I never get up early . It was fate that roused me and brought me here this morning . The morning is a miracle -- and you , I might suppose you were born of the sunrise , if Mrs. Palmer had n't told me all about you . '' `` What did she tell you about me ? '' asked Mollie , changing cows . Murray discovered that she was tall and that the big blue print apron shrouded a singularly graceful figure . `` She said you were the best-looking girl in Bruce county . I have seen very few of the girls in Bruce county , but I know she is right . '' `` That compliment is not nearly so pretty as the sunrise one , '' said Mollie reflectively . `` Mrs. Palmer has told me things about you , '' she added . `` Curiosity knows no gender , '' hinted Murray . `` She said you were good-looking and lazy and different from other people . '' `` All compliments , '' said Murray in a gratified tone . `` Lazy ? '' `` Certainly . Laziness is a virtue in these strenuous days , I was not born with it , but I have painstakingly acquired it , and I am proud of my success . I have time to enjoy life . ''
`` I think XXXXX I like you , '' said Mollie .
