He quickly explained, "Oh, no, Old Madam Wickam. That was Mr. Wickam on the phone. I..."

Julia furrowed, and her expression turned serious.

"Thomas, you seemed really happy to get his call. Are you sure you're not...?"

Thomas looked at Julia's concerned face and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Thomas assured Julia, "Of course, it's true, Old Madam Wickam. I've worked for Mr. Wickam for years; you know me better than anyone. I'm not gay, and I'm not interested in Mr. Wickam. I'm happy because I see him and Ms. Bennet getting closer!"
