"Don't you think so, Mr.Gibson ?" Mr.Gibson replied that perhaps there might be a difficulty, but he wasn't sure.

The difficulty, he thought, might be got over if the ladies did not always occupy the same room.
"You have never seen Mrs.Trevelyan, have you, Miss Stanbury ?" asked Camilla.
"Never." "She is not an old family friend, then,--or anything of that sort ?" "Oh, dear, no." "Because," said Arabella, "it is so odd how different people get together sometimes." Then Dorothy explained that Mr.Trevelyan and her brother Hugh had long been friends.
"Oh!--of Mr.Trevelyan," said Camilla.

"Then it is he that has sent his wife to Nuncombe, not she that has come there ?" "I suppose there has been some agreement," said Dorothy.
"Just so; just so," said Arabella, the meek.

"I should like to see her.

They say that she is very beautiful; don't they ?" "My brother says that she is handsome." "Exceedingly lovely, I'm told," said Camilla.
