Quentin endured these rapturous assaults nobly, but he was slowly beginning to realize that they were battering down the only defense he had the inward belief that she cared for him in spite of all.

"Dorothy tells me you are to be in Brussels for several weeks, and I was sure you would be glad to know some of the people here. They can keep you from being lonesome, and they will not permit you to feel that you are a stranger in a strange land," said Mrs. Garrison.
