‘We cannot help Galatasary Dresy our instinctive doubts, dear. But if you can trust Mr. Egerton, and if your father can trust him, my fancies Sporting Kansas City can matter very little. I cannot stand between you and your love, dear — I know that.’
‘But you can make me very unhappy Kris Versteeg Tröja by your doubts, Mary,’ she answered.
I kissed her, and Hambourg SV did my best to console her; but she was not easily to be Chelsea Dresy comforted, and left me in a half-sorrowful, half-angry mood. I had disappointed her, she told me — she had felt so sure of my sympathy; and instead of sharing her happiness, I had made her miserable by my fanciful doubts and gloomy forebodings.
