At first he thought his action irrevocable, and he bitterly upbraided himself for not taking council with Cynthia upon Mrs. Vostrand's letter.
Very nice people, and I'd like to make it pleasant for them get up something go somewhere and when you see their style you can judge what it had better be. Mrs. Vostrand and her daughter." "Thank you," said Westover. "I think I know them already at least one of them. I used to go to Mrs. Vostrand's house in Florence." "That so?
Vostrand's that I thought she'd be pretty sure to tell you about it; and I wanted to ask to ask that you wouldn't say anything to mother." "You are a boy! I shouldn't think of meddling with your affairs," said Westover; he got up again, and Jeff rose, too.
He was not aware of an intention of going, but he thought he had better not correct Mrs. Vostrand's error. "Yes, I really must, now," he said. "Well, then," she returned, distractedly, "do come often." He hurried out to avoid meeting Genevieve. He passed her, on the public stairs of the house, but he saw that she did not recognize him in the dim light.

The next mail brought Cynthia's reply, which was very brief: "I am sorry you had to write at all; nothing could have prevented it.
In the end, when he was about to give the whole affair up for the present, and lose a night's sleep over it later, he had an inspiration, and he acted upon it at once. He perceived that he owed no formal response to the sentimental insincerities of Mrs. Vostrand's letter, and he decided to write to Durgin himself, and to put the case altogether in his hands.
He says that she was worthy of any man's love and of the highest respect. I tell Genevieve that, she ought to honor him for it, and that she must never be jealous of a memory. We are very happy in Mr. Vostrand's cordial approval of the match. He is so glad to think that Mr. D. is a business man. His cable from Seattle was most enthusiastic.
