“She’s very sweet. Kind to everyone, as long as she gets her own way, and from what I’ve seen has a tendency to exile people from her affections when that for whatever reason doesn’t happen.

The trouble with the type was they so often had a grievance, against themselves or the world or some section of it that to them represented a spurning authority. If they’d known about themselves for a while, and Lanyon certainly looked the sort, it was usually their mothers, or all women, or at least all women of a certain type. She ought not have asked: now she would go in nursing a positive bias about the woman simply because Lanyon put her off.
