She wondered; then gravely, even exquisitely, as if to make the oddity also fit: "His own niece?" "Oh you must yourself find a name for the relation. His brother-in-law's sister. Mrs. Jim's sister-in-law." It seemed to have on Miss Gostrey a certain hardening effect. "And who in the world's Mrs. Jim?" "Chad's sister who was Sarah Newsome. She's married didn't I mention it? to Jim Pocock."
She too, visibly, wished to make no mistake; but it was a fear of a different order and more kept out of sight. She smiled in welcome at Strether; she greeted him more familiarly than Mrs. Pocock; she put out her hand to him without moving from her place; and it came to him in the course of a minute and in the oddest way that yes, positively she was giving him over to ruin.
