This letter asked Ursula to meet Kenneth in the beechwood the next afternoon , and so she stole away there when suspicious father and watchful stepmother thought she was spinning in the granary loft . '' `` It was very wrong of her to deceive her parents , '' said Felicity primly . The Story Girl could n't deny this , so she evaded the ethical side of the question skilfully . `` I am not telling you what Ursula Townley ought to have done , '' she said loftily . `` I am only telling you what she DID do . If you do n't want to hear it you need n't listen , of course . There would n't be many stories to tell if nobody ever did anything she should n't do . `` Well , when Kenneth came , the meeting was just what might have been expected between two lovers who had taken their last kiss three months before . So it was a good half-hour before Ursula said , '' ` Oh , Kenneth , I can not stay long -- I shall be missed . You said in your letter that you had something important to talk of . What is it ? ' '' ` My news is this , Ursula . Next Saturday morning my vessel , The Fair Lady , with her captain on board , sails at dawn from Charlottetown harbour , bound for Buenos Ayres . At this season this means a safe and sure return -- next May . ' '' ` Kenneth ! ' cried Ursula . She turned pale and burst into tears . ` How can you think of leaving me ? Oh , you are cruel ! ' '' ` Why , no , sweetheart , ' laughed Kenneth .
` The captain of The Fair Lady will take his bride XXXXX him .
