"i am sorry if it is an inconvenience, but i must insist. change it; i haven't anything else."
but he said that wasn't any matter; he was quite willing to let the trifle stand over till another time. i said i might not be in his neighborhood again for a good while; but he said it was of no consequence, he could wait, and, moreover, i could have anything i wanted, any time i chose, and let the account run as long as i . he said he hoped he wasn't afraid to trust as rich a gentleman as i was, merely because i was of a merry disposition, and chose to play larks on the public in the matter of dress.
