You would n't find it comfortable , anyhow , having to step back to second place after being mistress here so long . '' Eunice tried to speak , but only an indistinct murmur came from her bloodless lips . The sound made Christopher look up . Something in her face irritated him . He pushed back his chair impatiently . `` Now , Eunice , do n't go taking on . It wo n't be any use . Look at this business in a sensible way . I 'm fond of you , and all that , but a man is bound to consider his wife first . I 'll provide for you comfortably . '' `` Do you mean to say that your wife is going to turn me out ? '' Eunice gasped , rather than spoke , the words . Christopher drew his reddish brows together . `` I just mean that Victoria says she wo n't marry me if she has to live with you . She 's afraid of you . I told her you would n't interfere with her , but she was n't satisfied . It 's your own fault , Eunice . You 've always been so queer and close that people think you 're an awful crank . Victoria 's young and lively , and you and she would n't get on at all . There is n't any question of turning you out .
I 'll build a little house for you somewhere , and you 'll be a great deal better off there XXXXX you would be here .
