  '... But surely, Eva,' he said most earnestly*, 'in these days, and in that progressive country you've been in, something could have been done, has been done; what is being done?'

  'Everything! — that is to say, very, very much.' Eva spoke with passion that yet had somewhere in it a hint of evasion. 'But Jeremy doesn't like it; he doesn't want to. He not only doesn't co-operate, they all tell me, he puts a resistance up. He is angered by what they attempt to do to him. It upsets him. He would like to stay happy the way he is.'

  'Many of us would; but that's not the thing. — Oh come, Eva, who would not wish to speak?'

  'I have never wished to. What is the object? What is the good?'

  • Примечание для тех, кто не знаком с содержанием романа. Мистер Данси спрашивает Еву о том, какие попытки она предприняла ради лечения Джереми (ее глухонемого ребенка).
