"Have you said that to my husband yet ?" she asked.
"Not quite that," said Juliet.
"Well, if you ever do, may I be there to hear!" she rejoined flippantly.
"He's like a raging bull when he's crossed.

I hear he came to see you yesterday." "He did," said Juliet.
"Did he talk about me ?" asked Mrs.Fielding.
"He told me that you were not very strong," said Juliet.
"And that I wanted someone to look after me--coerce me, when he wasn't there to do it himself.

Was that it ?" "Surely you know better than that!" said Juliet.
"Oh, I know him awfully well," said Mrs.Fielding, with her reckless laugh.

"Are you really thinking of coming to live with us ?" "You haven't asked me yet," said Juliet.
"Oh, that doesn't matter.

You'll come if you think you will; and if you don't, nothing will induce you.
