She paused again, and again nodded her head. "Then you have accepted him?" "I have not accepted him. I have refused him. I have told him that it was impossible." "And yet you wish him back again!" Nora again nodded her head. "That is a state of things I cannot at all understand," said Mrs. Trevelyan, "and would not believe unless you told me so yourself."
