"That is a pity," Lux said without emotion. "I have cried off too."
"Oh, why?"
"I'm very tired, and upset about Rouse, and I don't feel like going junketing in town."
"You surprise me."
"I surprise you? In what way?"
"I never thought I should live to see Catherine Lux being dishonest with herself."
"Oh. And what am I fooling myself about?"
"If you have a look at your mind you'll find that that's not why you're staying at home."
"No? Why, then?"
"Because you get such pleasure out of telling Edward Adrian where he gets off."
