"In terms of family background, ability, and feelings for you, how can she compare to me?" At the end of the questioning, Karen's voice became hoarse. It was filled with unwillingness and resentment. She was unwilling to accept that someone like Maeve could get the man she had admired for a long time. She even blamed Gilbert for objecting to her relationship with Byron in the first place.
