Illustration to "Fred Holdersworth; or, Love and Pride", by Thomas Miller, 1850. '"I will know my doom before I sleep," said Fred, sinking on the ground with one knee, and seizing her hand...then exclaiming, "My happiness rests on your lips! I love you! I have loved you from the first moment I saw you, and, unless you consent to be my wife, my hours in this thorny wilderness are numbered." " What a strange gentleman you are," said the laughing girl..."I'm sure you'll get cold, sir if you don't get up, for the dew's falling...Leave go of my hand, please..." "Never will I rise from this earth again!" exclaimed Fred, now dropping the other knee, "until you promise to make me happy! Beautiful creature! adorable angel!" "Come, come, young gentleman! what, you're beginning your games already pretending to make love to my daughter!" said the mother, who...had come out of the cottage'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
