@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"With his interest in me?"
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.socialHow does your aunt reconcile his interest in her—?"
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.socialHe hesitated; then he said: "I'm thinking, I dare say, of Miss Theale's.
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"To take the measure, do you mean, of my danger?"

@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"To judge of you—which is different."
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"Then why do you ask about him?"
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"I've nothing to do with him."
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"Why should I judge of him?" Densher asked.
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"Judge of him."
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"Judge of what?"
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.socialNow you can judge."
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"There he is.
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"That's what I mean too," Kate smiled.
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"I mean for *you*."
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"Oh immensely."
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"It's *he* who's your aunt's man?"
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.socialDensher was by this time quite ready for her.
