"You lied," George said softly. "We talked about it so many times, you could have told me, I could have helped you. But you didn't. She was in my house, Hallam, and you -"
He sighed. "I'll never forget what you said to me, that day, after they had gone to Coppins. That ultimately, everything you had done was for her." George shook his head. "That if Agnes didn't need you, you would be quite lost. When she has always needed you, Hallam."
He gritted his teeth, taking a sip of his drink and trying not to let his anger and frustration get the better of him. That wouldn't do very much good in the long run.
