He doesn't seem to get on very well with Florence Hunter,

I think I may tell you a secret which Mavy has never guessed. He could have got on a good deal better with Mrs. Hunter had he been anxious to, and she hasn't forgiven him because he didn't realize it.

I don't mean very much by that. Mrs. Hunter merely wished to--annex--him; to command his respectful homage, which he was quite ready to pay her as Elcot's wife, though that wasn't quite what she intended. There's an unpleasant streak in that woman's nature.

But Florence can have no complaint against her husband, she objected.

He seems to indulge her and treat her generously.

That's half the trouble, was the answer.

Some day she'll wear his patience out, and then he'll take the other way--and they'll get on better afterward. However, that's a matter that doesn't concern us. She paused a moment, with a smile.

Anyway, I'm glad you decided to come to me.

Thank you,
