Archie, not detecting the anxiety in his tone, thought Betty was looking very well. Then he mentioned Jim.
"He comes from Friday to Monday, every week. He wants Betty, but I don't fancy he'll get her."
"Have you any reason for saying that?" Mark asked, wondering whether Archie was clearer-sighted than he had supposed.
"Jim is a materialist."
"Oh, come now!"
"A money-grubber and an agnostic."
"One of the best of fellows. Ross never appeals to him in vain."
"As if any rich man couldn't write a cheque. Betty ought to marry somebody very different."
"Don't abuse him to Betty."
"Betty is rather—undisciplined."
