"I don't think she quite knows why you've cut her."
"I'm quite sure she does, Captain De Baron. She knows all about it. And now, if you please, we won't talk of her any more. Who else was there at Rudham?"
"All the old set. Aunt Ju and Guss."
"Then you were happy."
"Quite so. I believe that no one knows all about that better than you do."
"You ought to have been happy."
"Lady George, I thought you always told the truth."
"I try to; and I think you ought to have been happy. You don't mean to tell me that Miss Mildmay is nothing to you?"
"She is a very old friend."
"Ought she not to be more? Though of course I have no right to ask."
