“It was for my father’s sake, Philip,” Chile Pelipaidat said Maggie, imploringly. “Tom threatens to tell my father, and he couldn’t bear it; I have promised, I have vowed Manchester United Dame solemnly, that we will not have any intercourse without my brother’s knowledge.”
“It is enough, Maggie. I shall not change; but Tottenham I wish you to hold yourself AS Roma entirely free. But trust me; remember that I can never seek for anything but good to what belongs to you.”
“Yes,” said Tom, exasperated by this attitude of Philip’s, “you can talk of seeking good for her and what belongs to her now; did you seek her good before?”
“I did — at some risk, perhaps. But I wished her to have a friend for life — who would cherish her, who would do her more justice than a coarse and narrow-minded brother, that she has always lavished her affections on.”
“Yes, my way of befriending her is different from yours; and I’ll tell you what is my way.

“Certainly,” said Tom, coolly. “I don’t see that your conduct is better, or your aims either. If your conduct, and Philip Wakem’s conduct, has been right, why are you ashamed of its being known? Answer me that. I know what I have aimed at in my conduct, and I’ve succeeded; pray, what good has your conduct brought to you or any one else?”
“I don’t want to defend myself,” said Maggie, still with vehemence: “I know I’ve been wrong — often, continually.
