She liked him in the same way she liked her brother, but rather less, if anything.

She hardly knew, for she had seen so little of John since she was a small child.

I suppose Isaacs must have talked to her about me, for she treated me with a certain consideration, and often referred questions to me, on which I thought she might as well have consulted some one else.

For my part, I served the lovers in every way I could think of.

I would have done anything for Isaacs then as now, and I liked her for the honest good feeling she had shown about him, especially in the matter of the tiger's ears, for which she could not forgive herself--though in truth she had been innocent enough.
