X A Difference Of Opinion |
Page 3 of 9 |
"Pardon me, Dr. Heath; I cannot flatter myself so far. You overrate my influence with the lady you name." "You believe, then, that she was sincere in her rejection of your addresses? A start, too slight to be noted by any one but the watchful Sweetwater, showed that this question had gone home. But the self-poise and mental control of this man were perfect, and in an instant he was facing the coroner again, with a dignity. which gave no clew to the disturbance into which his thoughts had just been thrown. Nor was this disturbance apparent in his tones when he made his reply: "I have never allowed myself to think otherwise. I have seen no reason why I should. The suggestion you would convey by such a question is hardly welcome, now. I pray you to be careful in your judgment of such a woman's impulses. They often spring from sources not to be sounded even by her dearest friends." |
