There's something else...
-
Apparently,the word is going round London that Evelyn Napier
-
has given up any thought of Mary.
-
That he's going to marry one of the Semphill girls.
-
She writes as if, somehow, it reflects badly on Mary.
-
Your dear sister is always such a harbinger of joy.
-
No, as if...
-
As if Mary had somehow been found wanting. In her character.
-
I don't believe Mr Napier would have said that.
-
- Neither do I, really, but... - She ought to be married.
-
- Talk to her. - She never listens to me.
-
If she did, she'd marry Matthew.
