CHAPTER IX
59/62

What did he want to see you for, Dick ?' Alice looked at him from the corner of her eye.
'I think I'll tell you.

He says he doesn't intend to come here again.
You've made him feel uncomfortable.' The girl laughed.

I rather thought you liked him.' 'Liked him?
Oh, in a way, of course.

But things are different.' 'How different ?' Alice looked up, put her head on one side, smiled her prettiest, and asked-- 'Is it true, what 'Arry says--about the money ?' He had wanted to get at this, and was, on the whole, not sorry to hear it.

Richard was studying the derivation of virtue from necessity.
'What if it is ?' he asked.
'Well, it makes things more different even than I thought, that's all.' She sprang to her feet and danced across the room, one hand bent over her head.
