"Mr. Gaylord imagines he doesn't get along with the opposite sex," Austen replied, with just a shade of constraint.
"Nonsense!" exclaimed Victoria; "we got along perfectly the other day when he rescued me from the bushes. What's the matter with him?"
Austen laughed, and their eyes met.
"I think he is rather surprised to see you here," he said.
