He met Lord Montague on the steps, and he had something spiteful to say about him. I had to tell him he was presuming a good deal on his acquaintance, and that I considered his manner insulting. He flung out of the house very high and mighty.

We didn't know him. That is all. Now we do, and I am thankful we do. He will never come here again.

I'm very sorry for it all. It must be some misunderstanding.

Of course, it is dreadful to be so disappointed in people. But we have to learn. I don't know anything about his misunderstanding, but I did not misunderstand what he said. At any rate, after such an exposition we can have no further intercourse with him. You will not care to see any one who treated your mother in this way? If you love me, you cannot be friendly with him. I know you would not like to be.

You promise me, dear, that you will put the whole thing out of your mind?
human
I shall not have any friends whom you do not approve, but, mamma, I cannot be unjust in my mind.
