the better question in this moment, una thinks, is does he really need to ask? her lips part to offer a reminder that his record indicates that, yes, he would try precisely such a thing, but he stays that argument by adding that one, last, wry word. ❛ considering that you have to specify 'again'... ❜ as she often does, una lets the end of her sentence remain mere implication: having considered it a reasonable plan once, he had forfeited any right to indignation.
❛ I do not trust that you did, in fact, learn your lesson the last time. or that you would not decide to test whether I might, assuming you would not attempt something so ridiculous again, let my guard down. ❜ the latter possibility comes accompanied by the slightest mock-suspicious narrowing of her eyes.
