“Yes, for she was not in the least vulgar! And it is just as I told you at Vauxhall: she has the most laughing eyes!”
“They do laugh sometimes,” admitted Mr Ravenscar. “May I ask if you are in the habit of visiting her?”
“No, because she said I must not while you and my aunt disliked her so amazingly.”
“Oh, she said that, did she?”
“Yes, but I told her I should come often to see her when she was married to Adrian, and she said I might.”
“She is not going to marry Adrian.”
“I do not see why she should not. I think you are silly, and fusty, and full of prejudice!”
“I dare say you do.”
“And I may as well tell you at once, Max, that nothing would induce me to marry Adrian!”
“I never supposed that you would marry him.”
