Therefore, when Quita, extolling Richardson's patience and gratitude, remarked for the second time with unguarded fervour, "One really grows much too fond of the dear fellow," Lenox turned upon her a straight glance of scrutiny. "Great luck for him. Have you ever told him so, I wonder?" The undernote of sarcasm in his half-bantering tone brought the blood to her cheeks.
