"What is Frank going to do?
It is fortunate that we are going up to town next week." "He is going up to town himself tomorrow, and I am sure that you will never hear from him, or from anyone else, what has happened.
We shall meet in town as usual, and I am sure that he will be just the same as he was before, and that I shall be a great deal more uncomfortable than he will.

It is a very silly affair altogether, I think; and I would give anything if it had not happened." Lady Greendale did not echo the sentiment.

She liked Frank Mallett immensely.

He had always been a great favourite of hers, but since she had guessed what Bertha herself had not dreamed of, she had been uncomfortable.

It threatened to disturb all the plans she had formed, and she was well contented to learn that she had refused him.
