"You have a great interest in that woman, Jarvis. What is it about her that has caught your attention?"
"It is difficult to say. As I have grown into her book, so that it has become a part of my thought, I have been more and more absorbed in the personality of the woman."
"You told me the heroine was like me—once."
"Did I?" in surprise.
"You've changed your mind, evidently?"
"No-o. Her brilliance is like you."
"But not her other qualities?"
"She seems softer, more appealingly feminine to me, than you do. You have so much more executive ability——"
"You think I'm not feminine?"
"I didn't say that," he evaded.
