John Charrington's Wedding (short story)

  • Type: Short Story

John Charrington's Wedding is a speculative fiction short story by author E Nesbit. - AsNotedIn

No one ever thought that May Forster would marry John Charrington; but he thought differently, and things which John Charrington intended had a queer way of coming to pass. He asked her to marry him before he went up to Oxford. She laughed and refused him. He asked her again next time he came home. Again she laughed, tossed her dainty blonde head and again refused. A third time he asked her; she said it was becoming a confirmed bad habit, and laughed at him more than ever.E Nesbit, John Charrington's Wedding
