exclaimed Ursula . '' ` Indeed , dear girl , there 's nothing else to do ! ' '' ` Oh , I can not ! ' she protested . ` My father would -- ' '' ` We 'll not consult him -- until afterward . Come , Ursula , you know there 's no other way . We 've always known it must come to this . YOUR father will never forgive me for MY father . You wo n't fail me now . Think of the long parting if you send me away alone on such a voyage . Pluck up your courage , and we 'll let Townleys and MacNairs whistle their mouldy feuds down the wind while we sail southward in The Fair Lady . I have a plan . ' '' ` Let me hear it , ' said Ursula , beginning to get back her breath . '' ` There is to be a dance at The Springs Friday night . Are you invited , Ursula ? ' '' ` Yes . ' '' ` Good . I am not -- but I shall be there -- in the fir grove behind the house , with two horses . When the dancing is at its height you 'll steal out to meet me . Then 't is but a fifteen mile ride to Charlottetown , where a good minister , who is a friend of mine , will be ready to marry us .
By the time the dancers have tired their heels you and I will be XXXXX our vessel , able to snap our fingers at fate . ' ''
