"Doesn't he then!" Jenny exclaimed. "I think he gets very depressed sometimes!"
"Not deeply. It's never more than a passing mood."
"That's quite right. It is a mood. But he works himself up into a state over his moods."
"Tell me, dear Jane," said Castleton suddenly. "No, on second thoughts, I won't ask."
"Oh, do tell me."
"No, it's not my business. Besides, you'd be annoyed, and I've no wish to make our Jenny angry."
"I won't be angry. Do tell me, Fuz, what you was going to ask."
"Well, I will," he said, after a pause. "Jenny, are you very fond of Maurice?"
"Oh, I love him."
"Really love him?"
