"Doesn't that satisfy you that it must be artistic, since some one likes it?" Mrs. Hewson, finding herself suddenly the object of the conversation, picked her teeth in hurried confusion. Her husband surveyed the company over the rim of his cup and then returned to his reading of the evening paper. During the weighted silence that followed Janet's last remark, he laid down his paper.
"The duke," he added, "replied that he would cease to know you as soon as he found out the badness of your character himself." These three shocks, following in such quick succession, cast me into a state of confusion.

"I mean exactly what I say," pursued Miss Clarendon; "that if I reason wrong, and come to a false conclusion, or what you call a cruel conclusion, it is not my fault, but the fault of those who do not plainly tell me the facts."
