"Of course I don't mean to me."
"I've nothing particular to say to anybody just at present. Since I've been here that wretched old Marquis has been my chief fate. It's quite a pleasure to hear him abuse the Dean."
"And the Dean's daughter?"
"He has not much good to say about her either."
"I'm not surprised at that, Jack. And what do you say to him about the Dean's daughter?"
"Very little, Guss."
"And what are you going to say to me about her?"
"Nothing at all, Guss."
"She's all the world to you, I suppose?"
"What's the use of your saying that? In one sense she's nothing to me. My belief is that the only man she'll ever care a pin about is her husband. At any rate she does not care a straw for me."
