Opposite her door, Estelle stooped to lace her slipper, for which purpose she had left the drawing-room. "So he has no headache," said Della, "and absents himself only from aversion to society?"

Why should he fancy I suffered so terribly?
Before doing that, we ought to know not only that he stays away from his wife and children, but why he stays away; whether he is really a shirk, or absents himself unselfishly and for their better protection, at the risk of being misunderstood and traduced.
