¡¡¡¡ "I've just looked in to see if you got back comfortably last night, that's all," she said gently. "I was afraid afterwards that you might have met with any mishap?" ¡¡¡¡ "Oh--how stupid this is! I thought my visitor was--your friend-- your husband--Mrs. Fawley, as I suppose you call yourself?" said Arabella, flinging her head back upon the pillows with a disappointed toss, and ceasing to retain the dimple she had just taken the trouble to produce. ¡¡¡¡ "Indeed I don't," said Sue. ¡¡¡¡ "Oh, I thought you might have, even if he's not really yours. Decency is decency, any hour of the twenty-four." ¡¡¡¡ "I don't know what you mean," said Sue stiffly. "He is mine, if you come to that!" ¡¡¡¡ "He wasn't yesterday." ¡¡¡¡ Sue coloured roseate, and said "How do you know?" ¡¡¡¡ "From your manner when you talked to me at the door. Well, my dear, you've been quick about it, and I expect my visit last night helped it on-- ha-ha! But I don't want to get him away from you."
