"I have known a long time."

Isabel was silent.
"Come, miss, how did you find out?"
"Don't, Emily," said Isabel, entreatingly.
"How did you know—did he tell you?"
"Is this generous?" asked Isabel, with burning cheeks."
"You don't mean to say that you refused him?" said Emily, turning her blue eyes full upon Isabel, "that would be too cruel."
"Be quiet, Emily," implored Isabel.
