Then, after another look at Jael, he said, demurely, "Is there any insurance office you could recommend?" Mr. Carden smiled. "There is only one I have a right to recommend, and that is the 'Gosshawk. I am a director. But," said he, with sudden stiffness, "I could furnish you with the names of many others." Henry saw his way clear by this time.
"She is far too busy, too much absorbed in her own affairs to take any notice of you. I understand that she has something of an aversion for men." "Aversion!" "Well, she excludes them as unnecessary to her existence." "Why?" asked Carden. "Because she has a mission in life," said Mr. Keen gravely. Carden looked out of the window.
