"Oh!"

She asked, and Marius said he didn't object, and she's been looking forward to the prospect, but it's still a surprise to have the prospect right before her. Going to Scotland! Right now!

"Oh -- oh, yes, I shall! Let me just --" Do what? Duck back to Paris? But Marius already said, and what if time goes strange, as it so often does? Leave a note with Bar? But to what purpose, really? "--Well, yes, all right!"

She's starting to beam now, as the excitement of just -- just leaving on a trip, right now! Without her father, without her husband, without a servant accompanying her; outside her house, outside her very city, into another city and another country! Just her, to a dear friend's home! She's never done anything half so wild. But it's all proper, all the same.

"Yes, let's! Just show me the dress, I'd love to come, even if it's just a little storeroom I shall still be delighted!"
