Mrs. Upton expressed no displeasure, although she could not control
surprise, when she was informed of Imogen's change of decision, and Jack,
watching her as usual, felt bound, after the little scene of her quiet
acquiescence, to return with Imogen, for a moment, to the subject of their

might feel of any fundamental seeing on her part, he mustn't abandon hope
while there was a stone unturned.
"That's what it really was," he said to her. "You _do_ see, don't you?--to
respond to whatever she felt you wanted."
