"Yes, you do!"
"Do I?"
"I beg your pardon," said Dolly. "I didn't mean to say that. Of course a man shouldn't make sure of a thing."
"Not in this case, Mr. Longstaff; because really I entertain no such feeling."
"But you can if you please. Just let me tell you who I am."
"That will do no good whatever, Mr. Longstaff."
"Let me tell you at any rate. I have a very good income of my own as it is."
"Money can have nothing to do with it."
"But I want you to know that I can afford it. You might perhaps have thought that I wanted your money."
"I will attribute nothing evil to you, Mr. Longstaff. Only it is quite out of the question that I should—respond as I suppose you wish me to; and therefore, pray, do not say anything further."
