10/31 Mention of Nevil revived her feeling of hostility. He read it and gave it to me, and said, "You know that name." It was a name we had often talked about during the war. He does not pay many compliments, and he does not like to receive them, but it was impossible for him not to be moved by Captain Beauchamp's warmth in thanking him for the words he had spoken. I saw that Dr.Shrapnel became interested in Captain Beauchamp the longer they conversed. We walked home together. |
