[Eve’s Ransom by George Gissing]@TWC D-Link bookEve’s Ransom CHAPTER XX 12/22
Not afraid of _you_, dear Eve, but he might feel I was impertinent.
What do you think? We had such delicious times together, he and you and I, and I really don't want him to forget me altogether ?' Now I have told her that there is no fear whatever of your forgetting her, and that we often speak of her.
I begin to think that I have been unjust to Patty in calling her silly, and making fun of her.
She was anything but foolish in breaking off with that absurd Mr.Dally, and I can see now that she will never give a thought to him again.
What I fear is that the poor girl will never find any one good enough for her. The men she meets are very vulgar, and vulgar Patty is _not_--as you once said to me, you remember.
