"There is nothing to tell, Emily."
"There must be something to tell. What did he say to you?"
"Of course you know what he said."
"And what answer did you make?"
"I told him that it could not be."
"And did he take that,—as final, Nora?"
"Of course not. What man ever takes a No as final?"
"When you said No to Mr. Glascock he took it."
"That was different, Emily."
"But how different? I don't see the difference, except that if you could have brought yourself to like Mr. Glascock, it would have been the greatest thing in the world for you, and for all of them."
