My view of the situation was perfectly reasonable, and my assumption that there was some other reason for their visit was not without truth.
Guffy handed me a note and I I had only just left him when I encountered you at the door. I wanted to see him again, to talk with him longer, but I couldn't manage to get away from you, and I didn't know what to do. There, I've told it all; do you really think I am so very bad, because because I like Bob Hampton?" He stood a moment completely nonplussed, yet compelled to answer.
