"I like him very much! He's a dear boy!"
"He's fallen in love with you!"

"And the worst of it is he wants to marry you!"
"Please spare me these inanities!"

"The little idiot!"
"By worthy he means when he's made a name as an actor. And he can't succeed in that until he's allowed to play parts. Can't you manage it for him?"
Agnes blushed, threw herself back on the sofa cushions and exhibited a pair of elegant little boots with gold tassels.
