It's time for the young people to get to know each other, and they're all excited to see each other. One of the uncles says that he's going to find Lily, and the other says he'll do whatever he can to help her get married. Mr. bolton says there's no contract between him and Lily, but that the elders have all agreed to it. He's a cripple, so he can't get married, but he promises to help out if anyone tries to force him to do so. Lily says she doesn't mean what she says, and she's not saying that he should marry her. She's saying he should earn her love with actions, not words.
