"I＇ve got over that. You don＇t know how to take such ideas. Mr. Goodwood does, however; and that＇s what I like about him. He＇s a splendid man and a perfect gentleman, and Isabel knows it."
"Is she very fond of him?"
"If she isn＇t she ought to be. He＇s simply wrapped up in her."
"And you wish me to ask him here," said Ralph re昀ectively.
"It would be an act of true hospitality."
"Caspar Goodwood," Ralph continued—"it＇s rather a striking name."
"I don＇t care anything about his name. It might be Ezekiel Jenkins, and I should say the same. He＇s the only man I have ever seen whom I think worthy of Isabel."
