Excerpt: ...be, in women, if it's to keep even with the other thing." Lydia seemed shocked; she made a faint, involuntary motion to withdraw her hand, but he closed his arm upon it. "Don't condemn me for thinking that fibbing is charming. I shouldn't like it at all in you. Should you in me?" "I shouldn't in any one," said Lydia. "Then what is it you dislike in me?" he suddenly demanded. "I didn't say that I disliked anything in you." "But you have made fun of something in me?" "No, no!" "Then it wasn't the stirring of a ...

Excerpt: ...be, in women, if it's to keep even with the other thing." Lydia seemed shocked; she made a faint, involuntary motion to withdraw her hand, but he closed his arm upon it. "Don't condemn me for thinking that fibbing is charming. I shouldn't like it at all in you. Should you in me?" "I shouldn't in any one," said Lydia. "Then what is it you dislike in me?" he suddenly demanded. "I didn't say that I disliked anything in you." "But you have made fun of something in me?" "No, no!" "Then it wasn't the stirring of a guilty conscience when you asked me whether I should like to be made fun of? I took it for granted you'd been doing it." "You are very suspicious."

"Ought I to suspect somebody?" she asked, lightly. "Oh, that's the way with all your sex. One asks you to be suspicious, and you ask whom you shall suspect. You can do nothing in the abstract. I should like to be suspicious for you. Will you let me?" "Oh, yes, if you like to be." "Thanks. I shall be terribly vigilant, -a perfect dragon. And you really invest me with authority?" "Yes." "That's charming." Staniford drew a long breath. After a space of musing, he said, "I thought I should be able to begin by attacking some one else, but I must commence at home, and denounce myself as quite unworthy of walking to and fro, and talking nonsense to you. You must beware of me, Miss Blood." "Why?" asked the girl. "I am very narrow-minded and prejudiced, and I have violent antipathies. I shouldn't be able to do justice to any one I disliked." "I think that's the trouble with all of us," said Lydia. "Oh, but only in degree. I should...
