Christopher thought he knew very little about it, but he had learnt what he set out to know and was moreover now aware that the subject was distasteful to Aymer, so he politely changed it. "Robert's brother has got some very nice guinea-pigs," he said thoughtfully. "Who is Robert?" "Robert is the under footman. I forgot you don't know him."
'For what, Evan? But while she was speaking the colour mounted in her cheeks, and she went on rapidly: 'Did you think it unkind of me not to come to nurse you. I must tell you, to defend myself. It was the Countess, Evan. She is offended with me very justly, I dare say. She would not let me come. What could I do? I had no claim to come. Rose was not aware of the import of her speech.
She at once recognised the young Indian woman whom her cousin had rescued from death: and aware, as she was, of the strong attachment that had subsequently bound her to her preserver, she was at no loss to understand how she might have been led to devote herself to the rescue of one whom, it was probable, she knew to be his affianced wife.
"You are very polite, Signor Dottore, I am sure," said the old woman, hesitatingly; for she was alarmed at the idea, which the lawyer's courtesy had suggested to her cautious mind, that she might be supposed to be engaging his professional services, and might thus find herself, before she was aware of it, involved in expenses which she had no means of meeting, and no intention of incurring; "you are extremely polite, but you see, Signor, it is best to speak plainly- -I am a very poor woman; and I have not the means and I am sure perhaps I ought not to have troubled sua Signoria; but it was the Contessa Violante who advised me to come to you."

He was trapped by her flattery, but he did not wish to betray his wife by making love to the woman. He liked her words and her manner; but he was aware that she was a thing sacred as being another man's wife.
False principles might lead her to do ill, but she never did anything which she conceived to be wrong. I am well aware that ascribing sensibility of heart with coldness of temperament to the same person, I shall generally, and with great appearance of reason, be accused of a contradiction.
"Pardon me, she mentioned your name in a very particular manner." "And yet she has had good cause to trust in my fidelity." "She has a very great respect and esteem for you, I am aware. She said as much to me. But her reasons for keeping her affairs to herself just now are quite apart from her personal feeling for yourself." "I cannot understand this.
The King of Rewa warned him that the mountain dwellers would surely kai-kai him kai-kai meaning "to eat" and that he, the King of Rewa, having become Lotu, would be put to the necessity of going to war with the mountain dwellers. That he could not conquer them he was perfectly aware. That they might come down the river and sack Rewa Village he was likewise perfectly aware. But what was he to do?
