I fully expected that he would make some inquiry after you.

I was so confident in the noble character of the man, both from your story and the description of others, that I could not believe you were right.
But you are right, my poor Ethel.

Indeed, my dear, not only has he not questioned me about you, but he evidently avoids me.

It is not that he is engrossed with Minnie, for he is not so; but he certainly has some reason of his own for avoiding me.
