Question

"But I do not think that you know anything of the grand, over-mastering passion, or the deep necessity of woman's heart for loving."

"Do you think so?" resumed the first speaker; and bending over her work she quietly applied herself to the knitting that had lain neglected by her side, during this brief conversation; but as she did so, a shadow flitted over her pale and intellectual brow, a mist gathered in her eyes, and a slight quivering of the lips, revealed a depth of feeling to which her companion was a stranger.

What do these lines suggest about Janette Alston?

She knows little about married life.
She is has experienced a deep love that her cousin has not yet experienced.
She is saddened by her lack of marriage proposals.
She worries that her cousin thinks she is lonely.

Answer 2

She is has experienced a deep love that her cousin has not yet experienced.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is likely that Janette Alston has experienced a deep love that left her sad. We can assume this based on her reaction to the conversation. When her cousin argues that Janette knows nothing of love and passion, Janette does not give a straight answer. However, she is clearly bothered by the statement, and seems affected by a memory. It is likely she has experienced love and loss, but her cousin does not know about it.
