She never spoke a word to me, Dick, in all those weeks." "Which may prove no more than that you said or did something to cut her to the quick. 'Twould be well in your way, Jack. She is as sensitive as she should be, and you are blunter than I which is the worst I could say of you." "No, no; you are far beside the mark.
