I don't know anything about his misunderstanding, but I did not misunderstand what he said. At any rate, after such an exposition we can have no further intercourse with him.
Shall we leave it like that?" "Thank you very much." She got up, and so did he. "Of course," she said, "if I do have to say no after all I don't think I shall but if I do, I know you'll understand, and pass us without disturbing my husband.

This was not because of what I had said, though no one present, and he least of all, could be fool enough to misunderstand it, but because of its effect on him. Then, as now, blood flowed like water on far lighter occasions than this, and Brocton, with all his faults, was a ready fighter.
