Crewe trustworthy? I understand he has been in business for himself only a short time. Nancy declared herself unable to judge Mr. Crewe, whether in private or in commercial life.

An exclamation of pain checked his random words; he looked at Mrs. Damerel, and saw her features wrung with anguish. 'You mustn't speak to me like that! Once more she approached him.

What you have heard is partly true; you probably won't have to wait very long for the rest of the story, but I have no time and no inclination to tell it.

He is married, and that's the end of it, I suppose. Mrs. Damerel winced at this blunt announcement. 'When was it? she asked, in an undertone. 'I only knew he had made up his mind. Crewe mentioned the date; the day after Nancy's call upon her. 'And are they at Bournemouth? 'Yes. Will be for a month or so, he says. 'Well, we won't talk of it. As you say, that's the end.
