"Merlin took a month off and went back to Garland to break off an engagement with a girl named Lula Lundquist whom his relatives had been very anxious to arrange an engagement for him. Although he liked the girl as a friend, he was sure he wouldn't want her as a wife. While visiting with his brother in Park Valley he had met a young girl whom he thought he could fall in love with, in fact it was almost a case of love at first sight as far as he was concerned. This girl was only fifteen but then he reasoned, he was in no hurry to get married anyway. The girl's name was Maria Jennette Morris.
He managed to break off the engagement with Miss Lundquist all right without too much embarrassment to himself or the girl. His relatives who had pushed him into the match were furious but unable to do anything about the situation."
