She experienced a longing for the sympathy and support of Mr Jenkinson Neeld. Surely he would stand firm too? He was still at Fairholme. Was he included in Janie's "own people"? Had he been told the news? The delicate task! The Imp's temper was far too bad for delicacy; she found a positive pleasure in outraging it.
