"Why? Don't you like her?"
"She is charming, as a girl. I do not admire her particular style of goodness."
"No; but you will help me?"
Harvey laughed, perhaps to hide a sense of embarrassment.
"I am not a very religious person myself, Julia. No use to come to me, I am afraid. Come, I really shall begin to suspect you of a small craze on the subject. It is time that you should dress."
"Yes, I am forgetting; no, it will do in ten minutes—I never take long."
