She thought she began to see daylight through the conversational maze in which with the best intentions she had involved herself. "But I was only thinking that for a lady's drawing-room I think I like Luke's quiet black clothes just as much." "I am glad of that," said Mrs.
But Fitz was still wondering whether Eve was in the habit of reading the Globe. He often wondered thus about her daily habits, trying to picture, in his ignorant masculine way, the hours and minutes of a girl's daily existence.
