Then she looked down at her hands for a moment, feeling really happy of a sudden. She really did like Hoe, she didn't care that he was a mere railway worker. She would take him home to her father one day and he would approve, she just knew it. Her brothers might not, but her father would. She was certain!

"Would tomorrow evening be good for you for supper, Mister Blacke?" she asked softly.

What a stroke of luck.  The happy occasion of Rose's marriage would be made all the better for Pearl being there too. 
Joe was still smiling at her while she looked at her hands. Eventually though, she looked up and he broke his gaze as she asked him a question. Must be proper like.

"Tomorrow evenin'll be fine, Miss.  I look forward to it."
