Oz was surprised by her response, until he realized that she hadn't specified which emotion. He supposed it ought to have been obvious to anyone that there was something between the two of them, but presumably the same could be said for Daphnel and Christabel. She had mentioned that she found him funny and sweet, hadn't she? So he must have displayed some feeling towards her at some point, even if it was nothing stronger than mild interest or affection. Who could contend that mutual admiration, if that was what they claimed to share, was a shakier basis for a marriage than the mutual disdain Ozymandias and Thomasina evidently had? That was the difficulty in persuading her to give it up; from her perspective, knowing what she did about her brother's marriage, Oz understood her point of view perfectly.
"She doesn't understand that. People don't understand us," he said with a sigh, as though this was not a problem entirely of his own making; as though this had not been the design all along. "And she thinks she's in love with him."
