‘I didn’t say very ill,’ said her brother, rather sharply. ‘I only said very far from well. They may not know it either.’ And then he suddenly remembered that, from what Dr. Donaldson had told him, Margaret, at any rate, must be aware of the exact state of the case.



‘Very probably they are quite aware of what you said yesterday, John — of the great advantage it would be to them — to Mr. Hale, I mean, to be introduced to such people as the Stephenses and the Collingbrooks.’



‘I’m sure that motive would not influence them. No! I think I understand how it is.’



‘John!’ said Fanny, laughing in her little, weak, nervous way. ‘How you profess to understand these Hales, and how you never will allow that we can know anything about them. Are they really so very different to most people one meets with?’

‘And she’s not accomplished, mamma. She can’t play.’

‘Go on, Fanny. What else does she want to bring her up to your standard?’
