"Not yet. Dido," he said, in a cold voice. "It is true that I called to see your mistress; but I wish to speak to you also." Elinor gave her a loving look, and Patricia, appropriating a corner of her big muff, gave her hand a surreptitious squeeze. That maddened me, and I would have done anything to make him think I was not the foolish thing he evidently had classified me as being..

I don't believe I'll ever get the courage to look at Tom again until he marries Pet, which he'll do now, I feel sure.
