"Not right! You thought so once?"
"Not for an instant."
"She is here with your consent?"
"Did she tell you that? Don't please say that my Mattie ever told you that?"
Sidney considered. No, she had not said so, he remembered.
"She came against my will, full of a foolish idea of doing you good, and no power of mine could stop her," said Gray.
"Against your will?"
"I said she did," said Mr. Gray, sharply; "don't you believe me?"
"Yes—I believe you. But this is very singular."
