After all, she should have used more persuasion; she was firmly convinced that at heart men are very close to children.
"Do you think Disney will repeat his offer will give him a chance of reconsidering now?" asked Iver, who had heard of that affair from Lord Southend. "I'm sure he wouldn't accept anything," Neeld answered with remarkable promptitude and conviction. It was a luxury to find an opportunity of speaking the truth.
