Excerpt: ...far greater than his insulting words. She slipped, almost skulked to her room, her eyes down, her face in a burning flush, her scarf drawn tightly about her neck. As her door closed behind her, she fell upon her bed and began to sob hysterically. She started up with a scream to find her cousin standing beside her. "I'm so sorry. Forgive me."

"And he was, no doubt, until he got you on the brain in another way, in the way he calls love. There isn't any love that has friendship in it." "We must go away at once." "Unless Teddy saves us the trouble by going first, as I suspect he will." "Jessie, he hates me and-and-Mr. Howard." "So you talked to him about Howard again, did you?" Mrs. Carnarvon was indignant.
