After he had shut the door his manner changed completely and he was disposed to be affable. But I resented his intrusion. Had he come to fathom me?

Guests would soon arrive, so she hoped that the interview would not be prolonged. The way to shorten it was to say nothing. She could see that Harold was embarrassed, silence would increase his embarrassment. She knew that he had come to speak about the 4000 pounds which she had taken out of mortgage.
