"Nonsense, Evelyn!" he replied bruskly. "You must be careful what you say to me!" "I haven't been careful before!" she asserted. He bit his lips. She went swiftly on. "I have told you everything! I don't care what happens to me you know I don't, Jack! I am deadly desperately tired!" She paused, then she cried vehemently.
The product of all this irritation was, however, that he declined Rose's offer of a view of her patterns rather bruskly. "It was just curiosity, as I said.

I want to talk over some new work with you.
