Like many arrogant, selfish people, Mona Brandon is hypersensitive to the opinion of those she pretends to despise. She knew that you had many friends and would have heard the gossip, and she was trying to get you to talk. She would think it beneath what she calls pride to come right out in the open and tell you why she wanted to know what was being said.
