There was something in Adam Verver's eyes that both admitted the morning and the evening in unusual quantities and gave the modest area the outward extension of a view that was "big" even when restricted to stars.
"Whose husband's?" "Mr. Verver's," she went on. "The blindness is most of all his. That they feel that they see. But it's also his wife's." "Whose wife's?" he asked as she continued to gloom at him in a manner at variance with the comparative cheer of her contention. And then as she only gloomed: "The Prince's?" "Maggie's own Maggie's very own," she pursued as for herself. He had a pause.

Your husband doesn't treat you as of less importance to him than some other woman." "Ah, don't talk to me of other women!" Fanny now overtly panted. "Do you call Mr. Verver's perfectly natural interest in his daughter ?" "The greatest affection of which he is capable?" Charlotte took it up in all readiness.
"It only appears to me of great importance that now that you all seem more settled here Charlotte should be known, for any presentation, any further circulation or introduction, as, in particular, her husband's wife; known in the least possible degree as anything else. I don't know what you mean by the 'same' boat. Charlotte is naturally in Mr. Verver's boat." "And, pray, am I not in Mr.
"Conspiring so far as YOU were concerned to what end?" "Why, to the obvious end of getting the Prince a wife at Maggie's expense. And then to that of getting Charlotte a husband at Mr. Verver's." "Of rendering friendly services, yes which have produced, as it turns out, complications. But from the moment you didn't do it FOR the complications, why shouldn't you have rendered them?"
And there was a logic in the matter, he knew; a logic that but gave this truth a sort of solidity of evidence. Mr. Verver, decidedly, helped him with it with his wedded condition; helped him really so much that it made all the difference. In the degree in which he rendered it the service on Mr. Verver's part was remarkable as indeed what service, from the first of their meeting, had not been?
Verver's silence, on this, could only be a sign that she had caused her story to interest him; though the sign when he spoke was perhaps even sharper. "And is it also what you mean by Charlotte's being 'great'?" "Well," said Maggie, "it's one of her ways. But she has many." Again for a little her father considered. "And who is it she has tried to marry?"
"She would have liked for instance I'm sure she would have liked extremely to marry; and nothing in general is more ridiculous, even when it has been pathetic, than a woman who has tried and has not been able." It had all Mr. Verver's attention. "She has 'tried' ?" "She has seen cases where she would have liked to." "But she has not been able?"
But it's his innocence, above all," Mrs. Assingham added, "that will pull them through." Her companion, at this, focussed again Mr. Verver's innocence. "It's awfully quaint." "Of course it's awfully quaint!
