'' Janet was stunned , and she did think that . How could any girl not want to marry Randall Burnley if she had the chance ? `` Do n't you love him ? '' she asked stupidly . Avery bit into a nut-sweet apple . `` No , '' she said frankly . `` Oh , I do n't hate him , of course . I like him well enough . I like him very well . But we 'll quarrel all our lives .
