But remember,--if you want to ask any questions, and will ask them of me,--of me,--I will answer them, and will not be angry." "But I don't want to ask any questions." "You may some day; and then you can remember what I say." "And am I to understand that you are determined to quarrel with my cousin Will ?" "Quarrel with him! I don't suppose that I shall see him.

Only, remember, Clara, that if anything that he tells you makes any difference in your feelings towards me, I shall expect you to come to me and say so openly.
