Douglas knows Mr. Minturn so well, and respects him so highly, yet no one
can know him as you do----"
"That is quite true! I live with him! I know the real man!" cried Mrs.
Minturn.
"How mean of you!" laughed Leslie, "to distort my reasoning like that! I
don't ask you to think up all the little things that have massed into one
big grievance against him; I mean stop that for to-day, out here in the
country where everything is so lovely, and go back where I am."
"He surely has an advocate! Leslie, when did you start making an especial
study of Mr. Minturn?"
"When Douglas Bruce began speaking to me so frequently of him!" answered
Leslie. "Then I commenced to watch him and to listen to what people were
saying about him, and to ask Daddy."
"It's very funny that every one seems so well informed and so enthusiastic
just at the time when I feel that life is unendurable with him," said Mrs.
Minturn. "I can't understand it!"
"Mrs. Minturn, try, oh do try to get my viewpoint before you do anything
irreparable," begged Leslie.
