Mrs.Vivian, in fact, told me as much; for of course I spoke to her first.

Well, Angela does like me--or at least she did--and I see no reason to suppose she has changed.

Only she did n't like me enough.
She said the friendliest and pleasantest things to me, but she thought that she knew me too little, and that I knew her even less.

She made a great point of that--that I had no right, as yet, to trust her.

I told her that if she would trust me, I was perfectly willing to trust her; but she answered that this was poor reasoning.
