Minseok was not left long to the silent contemplation of his successful love; for Mrs. Park, having dawdled about in the vestibule to watch for the end of the conference, no sooner saw Jimin open the door and with quick step pass her towards the staircase, than she entered the breakfast-room, and congratulated both him and herself in warm terms on the happy prospect or their nearer connection. Minseok received and returned these felicitations with equal pleasure, and then proceeded to relate the particulars of their interview, with the result of which he trusted he had every reason to be satisfied, since the refusal which his cousin had steadfastly given him would naturally flow from his bashful modesty and the genuine delicacy of his character. This information, however, startled Mrs. Park; she would have been glad to be equally satisfied that her son had meant to encourage him by protesting against his proposals, but she dared not believe it, and could not help saying so.
"But, depend upon it, Minseok," she added, "that Jiminie shall be brought to reason. I will speak to him about it directly. He is a very headstrong, foolish boy, and does not know his own interest but I will MAKE him know it."
"Pardon me for interrupting you, madam," cried Minseok; "but if he is really headstrong and foolish, I know not whether he would altogether be a very desirable mate to a man in my situation, who naturally looks for happiness in the marriage state. If therefore he actually persists in rejecting my suit, perhaps it were better not to force him into accepting me, because if liable to such defects of temper, he could not contribute much to my felicity."
"Sir, you quite misunderstand me," said Mrs. Park, alarmed. "Jiminie is only headstrong in such matters as these. In everything else he is as good-natured a boy as ever lived. I will go directly to Mr. Park, and we shall very soon settle it with him, I am sure."
She would not give him time to reply, but hurrying instantly to her mate, called out as she entered the library, "Oh! Mr. Park, you are wanted immediately; we are all in an uproar. You must come and make Jiminie marry Kang Minseok, for he vows he will not have him, and if you do not make haste he will change his mind and not have JIMIN."
Mr. Park raised his eyes from his book as she entered, and fixed them on her face with a calm unconcern which was not in the least altered by her communication.
"I have not the pleasure of understanding you," said he, when she had finished her speech. "Of what are you talking?"
"Of Kang Minseok and Jiminie. Jiminie declares he will not have Minseok, and Minseok begins to say that he will not have Jiminie."
"And what am I to do on the occasion? It seems an hopeless business."
"Speak to Jiminie about it yourself. Tell him that you insist upon him marrying him."
"Let him be called down. He shall hear my opinion."
Mrs. Park rang the bell, and Jimin was summoned to the library.
