At last Tom and Mary did meet, and then Mary found all her fortitude
necessary, for Tom evidently had no intention of carrying matters off
with dignity, but rather showed her in every word and look that she
was the one woman in the world for him.
Can't everyone guess the end? That Tom took an early opportunity of
calling himself a fool and begging Mary's forgiveness, and Mary
contradicted him, and with many tears shed on his vest declared
herself an unreasonable little vixen, not worth his love, and that
she was willing to live in the very heart of Limeton if necessary.
'Too late, my dear,' says Tom, merrily, 'for I have my eye on a
lovely little nest in Mapleton, and I am not going to have my plans
upset a second time.'
Then Louise came into the room.
'Blessed are the peace-makers,' said Tom, going to his sister and
kissing her.
