That brought the quick colour. "Perhaps Mr. Ryan does not understand everything in life," she said, coolly. "Now, Ernestine he was lovely about you.
Still, if it destroyed somewhat of the sense, it at least increased the interest, since only the most profound attention could discover the pith of any paragraph, when every syllable in that paragraph was uttered with the same deliberate stress. And then there was his father.
