"I know as much about him as a woman can know of a man she doesn't know,—and all from yourself. You have said over and over again that he is a 'rascal!'"

"I believe you used that very word."
"Then I unsay it. A rascal has something mean about him. Juniper's a rascal!"
"He cares nothing for his word."
"Nothing at all,—when the law is concerned."
"And he has defamed his own wife."
"That was done many years ago."
"For a fixed purpose, and not from passion," Dolly continued. "He is a thoroughly bad man. You have made his will for him, and now I would leave him." After that Mr. Grey declined for a second time to go. But at last he was persuaded.
