Scarcely knowing how to make her acquaintance, the more so that he learns she is a hardworking milliner, extremely proud and independent, he resolves to disguise himself as a mechanic, and trust to Providence for the rest. He is not disappointed, and once having made the girl's acquaintance, he becomes a welcome guest in her home, under an assumed name. A month or two later he proposes to her, but the month or two later he proposes to her, but the parents, knowing comparatively little of him, write to his supposed employer (in reality himself) for information concerning him. Before a reply is received, a slight incident tends to arouse their suspicions. A ring which Carford forgets to take off his finger is remarked upon, and in the face of the young man's confused explanation, the good people do not feel inclined to give their consent. However, a letter arrives, requesting them to call on the following day for the information desired, and on the next day they find, much to their stupefaction, that the workman is none other than the employer, whose second request to be accepted as a son-in-law obtains for him the happiest of replies.
