The only effect of this speech was to depress further Miss Fenimer's estimate of her companion's intelligence, for in her opinion Nancy's whole life was one long black intention. Feeling this, Ned went on: "As a matter of fact, one reason why she's so nice to him is to keep him away from you and give me a chance." "Not very flattering to you, is it?" "What do you mean?"
"It's not my fault either, Laura." "You can so easily save the situation." "How?" "By asking her to marry you." "That I will not do." "Are you involved with some one else?"

I'm not in love with any individual, but I know clearly the type of woman I could fall in love with, and it most emphatically is not Miss Fenimer's."
Christine seemed to wonder. "The artistic temperament is usually given as the explanation, but somehow, in your case, Edward " He came and stood directly in front of her.

The interview was to take place at Mr. Fenimer's club, a most discreet and elegant organization of fashionable virility.

He felt sorry for Christine and a little disgusted. He wondered what that letter had really said. Was Fenimer a conspirator, too, or only a willing dupe?
