"The substitute might not be just the same. For instance, he might not have so scrupulous a conscience."
"You mean he might not be so eager to back out of his engagements."
"I mean what I said. Your position seems to be a little difficult."
"I wish to goodness, Miss Harden, I could explain it."
"I don't suggest that you should explain it. It doesn't seem to be so very clear to yourself."
"It isn't. I really don't know what I ought to do."
"No more do I. But I can tell you what you ought to have done. You ought to have made up your mind last night."
"Well, the fact is—last night—I hadn't very much mind left to make up."
"No, I remember. You were rather done up. I don't want to bind you by last night, if it's at all unfair to you."
"It isn't in the least unfair to me. But I'm not sure that it mightn't be very unfair to you; and, you see, I want to think it out."
