Her face betrayed a sudden change of mind. 'Wants to see you, sir, she said, resolutely. 'To see me? Evan stood up, so pale that Polly was frightened. 'Where is she? Where can I meet her?
Harry? I saw them let my brother pass without returning his bow, and they in no way acknowledged my presence as I passed. Are they gentlemen? 'Yes, said Harry, stupefied by the question.
