The reader will probably think it very strange that Clare Arden should not have been utterly revolted by the thought that it was possible her kinsman could mean to make a speculation of her, and a mere stepping-stone to fortune.

And if everything could be put right by a suitable marriage, why should not he marry? It was the most natural, the most legitimate way of arranging everything. For the idea itself she had no horror. All she felt was a natural prejudice against being herself the subject of the transaction.{250} — Margaret Oliphant

You don't have to be reluctant to accept an invitation from your enemy because that invitation is an indication of its own heavy defeat. Jonathan said, 'Come on, then we will crossover toward them and let them see us. If they say to us, ' Wait there until we come to you,' we will stay where we are and not go to them.
