Some one would tell him
something, and then appeal to him, if he didn't think that was so? Peter
generally thought it was. Some one did not drop her little touch of
coquetry, for that was ingrain, as it is in most pretty girls. But it
was the most harmless kind of coquetry imaginable. Someone was not
thinking at all of winning men's hearts. That might come later. At
present all she wanted was that they should think her pretty, and
delightful, so that--that they should want to be friend.
When Peter joined Watts and Leonore, however, on the fourth day, there
was a noticeable change in Leonore's manner to him. He did not get any
welcome except a formal "Good-afternoon," and for ten minutes Watts and
he had to sustain the conversation by firing remarks at each other past
a very silent intermediary. Peter had no idea what was wrong, but when
he found that she did not mollify at the end of that time, he said to
her;
"What is the matter?"
"Matter with what?" asked Leonore, calmly.
