'And I believe every one would have felt it so; but for his unfortunately reserved way of concealing the extent of the acquaintance, and showing that he would not be interfered with. Claude did his best to close the breach, but there had been something to forgive on both sides, and perhaps SHE was prouder than the Mohuns themselves.

Emily was listless and melancholy, talking in a maundering, dismal way, not calculated to brace her spirits or those of her sisters.
