"I fear that all things go deep with her."
"Poor girl!"
"But they shall be kept apart! As long as your great kindness is continued to her they shall be kept apart!"
"I do not think that I should be found good at watching a young lady."
"She will require no watching."
"Then of course they will not meet. She had better know that you have told me."
"She shall know it."
"And let her know also that anything I can do to make her happy shall be done. But, Duke, there is but one cure."
"Time, you mean."
"Yes; time; but I did not mean time." Then she smiled as she went on. "You must not suppose that I am speaking against my own sex if I say that she will not forget Mr. Tregear till someone else has made himself agreeable to her. We must wait till she can go out a little into society. Then she will find out that there are others in the world besides Mr. Tregear. It so often is the case that a girl's love means her sympathy for him who has chanced to be nearest to her."
