"Georgy had very little to do with it.

She is one of those women who let other people think for them.

However, Tom is an excellent fellow, and Georgy was a lucky girl to catch such a husband.
Any little flirtation there may have been between her and me was over and done with long before she married Tom.

It never was more than a flirtation; and I've flirted with a good many Barlingford girls in my time, as you know, Nancy." It was not often that Mr.Sheldon condescended to be so communicative to his housekeeper.

The old woman nodded and chuckled, delighted by her master's unwonted friendliness.
"I drove over to Hyley while I was at home, Nancy," continued the dentist--he called Barlingford home still, though he had broken most of the links that had bound him to it--"and dined with the Hallidays.
Georgy is as pretty as ever, and she and Tom get on capitally." "Any children, sir ?" "One girl," answered Mr.Sheldon carelessly.
