“What do you think of it?” he said, when he had told the comparatively little there was to tell.
“I think Rosamund likes to keep her home very quiet, don’t you?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Even her friends complain that she shuts them out.”
“I know they do.”
“She may not at all dislike Mrs. Clarke. She may simply not wish to add to her circle of friends.”
“The difficulty is, that Mrs. Clarke is such friends with Beattie and Guy, and that I’ve got to know her quite well. Then there’s her boy; he’s taken a fancy to me. If Mrs. Clarke and Rosamund could just exchange calls it would be all right, but if they don’t it really looks rather as if Rosamund—well, as if she thought the divorce case had left a slur on Mrs. Clarke. What I mean is, that I feel Mrs. Clarke will take it in that way.”
“She may, of course.”
“I wonder why she is so determined to make friends with Rosamund,” blurted out Dion abruptly.
“You think she is determined?” said Bruce Evelin quietly.
