I could hardly consider her engagement as a door intentionally left open, an invitation to restart a relation. She appears to have simply discarded the matter altogether from her concerns, with no regard for what he would feel. Could she reasonably expect Tolkien to disregard her engagement and still pop the question? I certainly doubt that. Concerning being sensible or not, I daresay this should not have been the case, if their love had the same meaning for her as it did for Tolkien - there seems to have been no pressing matter for her to be engaged then. A few more months, if she really cared about him, would have hardly made a difference. But I am repeating my own arguments now
