Was it strange that Mabel should be tortured with wild doubts, or that her son should believe the step-brother whom he had looked up to with such honest devotion, and the girl he had loved so truly, domestic conspirators who had been deceiving him all the time?

"Nonsense; she's as much engaged to you as to him," I said reassuringly, and that was all that passed between us on that subject.
Hilary went on querulously, "I'm asking Peter to do a simple thing to use his friendship with the Urquharts to help me out of this mess. If you don't want to see Lord Evelyn, Peter, you can go to Denis. He's a friend of yours; he's he's your kind of step-brother. You can easily persuade him to get the thing hushed up.
