"And if she can get no friend, she says she thinks she'll die," Jos proceeded in a low tremulous voice. "God bless my soul! do you know that she tried to kill herself?
He replied that she was very kind, angelically kind, but that the sick man was recovering fast, and that she had already given him far too much. Neither of them said anything that might not have been heard by everybody, and yet they whispered as if they were speaking of some forbidden thing.
She leaned a little closer to him, smiling angelically. "Ah, Mr. Arp," she cried, "I know your secret: you ADMIRE me!" He rose, confused and incoherent, as full of denial as a detected pickpocket.

But it doesn't do a dinner any good to wait an hour or two after it is cooked." "Why not sit down? She's sure to be here by the time we're fairly started," suggested Ruth. "I'd as soon wait as not." Claire's face was angelically patient. "I haven't a bit of appetite any more. I suppose it's because my head always begins to ache so if I don't eat at the regular hour."
