"Did he really?" "Oh, you've no idea how tired he grew of flannel and ginger-beer! Many a time he's said to me, 'My boy, learn to take what's set before you, even at an alderman's table. Ah, his was a generous creed, Miss Wallingford!" "Yes, I suppose it was," said Julia submissively.
Between them there was a strong mutual repulsion which neither sought to overcome. As I remarked I saw Wallingford more than once in conversation with the bride. But nothing in his manner indicated any sentiment beyond that of friendship. He was polite, cheerful, and at his ease. But it was different with her.
