Oh, dear me, mother, she has relented now.

"Surely, he will relent now and let the poor lad come hither?"

'She will have relented now,' I said, and I followed her, and found her as I thought.

So I relented now, and we went our ways together without further show of ill-humour on my part, or further advice on his.
