So I turned a deaf ear when he asked me presently if I should mind Lady Betty sharing our home; 'for, he went on, 'the poor child has no other home, and she is so feather-headed that no sensible man will think of marrying her. It was not my place to enlighten Giles about Claude, but I thought it very improbable that Lady Betty would be long at Gladwyn; but I was a little oppressed by this sort of talk, and yet unwilling that he should notice my shyness, so I took the opportunity of saying it was tea-time, and did he not think that Gladys and Eric had been talking long enough?
Last night horrified and humble, this morning, "Don't care" and feather-headed. He said sourly: "Oh! You can joke about it now?" Laurence turned his face to the wall. "Must." Fatalism! How detestable were natures like that! "I've been to see her," he said. "You?" "Last night. She can be trusted." Laurence laughed. "That I told you." "I had to see for myself.

How could he have thrown himself away like that, for a feather-headed woman?" Foster knocked the ash from the end of his cigar. "You don't know her," he answered. "If you did, you wouldn't put it in that way." He smiled a little and looked off at the golden path on the lake.
She was a poor feather-headed little thing, he did not doubt; but she had kept at least the poor man's treasure, a simple heart.
