"Because..."

Lady Maria said indifferently, "I dislike men. Lying in the same bed with one disgusts me, and I don't feel the slightest sorrow for my husband's death."

Marvin didn't know what to say all of a sudden; her answer really took him by surprise.

"I've been enquiring about your relationship with Freya to Mr. Nicholas for her sake," Maria said. "From the content of the letter, Freya seems to have some affection for you, so why won't you accept her?"

Talking about such personal matters upon the first meeting made Marvin slightly uncomfortable; he didn't feel that he and Lady Maria were familiar enough to discuss anything and everything, yet she seemed to talk as if they had known each other for a long time and could say whatever she wanted.
