“And he can’t like it because…?”
“It’s just not what I would have expected from him, that’s all.”
Darby resumed eating, and Edmund regarded her in silence. “I know what I said to you about him,” he finally said. “And I know what your opinion of Mathias is, but I think you’d be a little bit surprised by what you found if you got the chance to really know him.”
