Chapter IV
Marie Melmotte tells Sir Felix that if “a girl told me that she liked me better than any other girl, I should not know it, just because she said so.” Felix asks her if it would be different if a gentleman told her that, and she responds, “I shouldn’t believe him a bit, and I should not care to find out” (39). #Trust
