"No," he added in a moment, "that won't do." Bernard turned back to the window, and Gordon continued, as he remained silent.

"I shall have a right to consider your saying nothing a proof of an unfavorable judgment.

You don't like her!" Bernard faced quickly about again, and for an instant the two men looked at each other.
"Ah, my dear Gordon," Longueville murmured.
"Do you like her then ?" asked Wright, getting up.
"No!" said Longueville.
"That 's just what I wanted to know, and I am much obliged to you for telling me." "I am not obliged to you for asking me.

I was in hopes you would n't." "You dislike her very much then ?" Gordon exclaimed, gravely.
"Won't disliking her, simply, do ?" said Bernard.
"It will do very well.

But it will do a little better if you will tell me why.
