 “I have felt like this before,” he said with a wistful smile.  “When I first met your mother, I could hardly sleep.”

Ellen looked at him in surprise.  He rarely spoke of Mother, and he had never hinted until now whether their marriage was one of love or of convenience.

“I shall make no secret.  Several young men have called on me to ask if they might court you,” Father said, and smiled weakly.  For the first time, Ellen realized that he was as reluctant to let her go as she was eager to marry.  “If I must give you away, then tell me who your favourite is – who is it that robs you of sleep – so that I may discourage the others and pave the way for the one you love.”

Ellen stared at him for a moment, her mind in a whirl of confusion.  Her favourite, he had said – well, that was Charles Findley, no question.  But the one who robbed her of sleep?  That was Roderick Benton, and there was no way around it.  If she dreamed of him like this, did that mean she loved him?
