Captain Fanshawe never left her side ; they sat together on the same sofa which Great-aunt Jane had monopolised for the earlier part of the evening , and talked of many things , and discussed many problems , and sometimes agreed , and oftener disagreed , and when they disagreed most widely , looked into each other 's eyes and smiled , as who should say , `` What do words matter ? We understand ! '' At one o'clock Claire rose to depart , and said her adieu to her hostess and her daughter , who were standing side by side . `` My dear , it is too bad .
