But socially he has become a little aristocratic, seeking an exclusive association with his wealthy neighbors.
We might easily have guessed this, if we ever dreamed of impossibilities." "In such cases, when appearances lean in one direction, set principles in the opposite balance," added Cornelia. "What Adela apprehends may seem to impend, but we know that papa is incapable of doing it. To know that, shuts the gates of suspicion. She has allowed herself to be troubled by a ghastly nightmare."
