"I'm sorry really," returned Carroll humbly "But you seemed so interested in that young man and I had gotten into an absorbing conversation with your sister and brother-in-law.

Sophia had made herself difficult to be gotten, and therefore Augustus fancied that he wanted her. Since he had been in town he had been frequently in Harley Street, and had been arguing with himself on the matter. What match could be more discreet or better?
