] A fellow-flirt? What makes you describe Reggie that way? I got the impression that he wanted to meet her because she was different from him. Please enlighten....

Quote from letter IV:As a very distinguished flirt I have always been taught to consider her, but it has fallen in my way to hear some particulars of her conduct at Langford, which prove that she does not confine herself to that sort of honest flirtation which satisfies most people, ... Therein he refers to himself as a very distinguished flirt but of the honest kind, not the type to make anyone miserable. He longs to see her and form his own idea of those bewitching powers ... I don't think he expected to be beguiled by her. He felt he was prepared to be a curious onlooker.
