An Unsocial Socialist

CHAPTER VIII
5/25

He says he knows your husband well; that he treated you very badly, and that you are greatly to be pitied.
Can you guess now?
He says he has kissed you--for shame, Hetty! Have you guessed yet?
He was going to tell me something more when we were interrupted, and I have not seen him since except at a distance.

He is the man with whom you eloped that day when you gave us all such a fright--Mr.Sidney.

I was the first to penetrate his disguise; and that very morning I had taxed him with it, and he had confessed it.

He said then that he was hiding from a woman who was in love with him; and I should not be surprised if it turned out to be true; for he is wonderfully original--in fact what makes me like him is that he is by far the cleverest man I have ever met; and yet he thinks nothing of himself.

I cannot imagine what he sees in me to care for, though he is evidently ensnared by my charms.
