CHAPTER TWO--THE FYNES AND THE GIRL-FRIEND
97/98

I didn't of course ask Fyne what work his wife was engaged on; but I marvelled to myself at her complete ignorance of the world, of her own sex and of the other kind of sinners.

Her father had kept her strictly cloistered.

Marriage with Fyne was certainly a change but only to another kind of claustration.

You may tell me that the ordinary powers of observation ought to have been enough.
