It was as though I must prevent her casting off her modesty at all costs by my own debasement; that is to say, as long as she desired only my body and not my heart. My heart remained out of shot range behind the walls of my true love for Emmy.
Thereupon the father proceeded to lay before his son the immediately pressing problems in the business the financial obligations already assumed, the heavy accumulation of stock for which there were no markets, the increasing costs in production with no hope of relief, but rather every expectation of added burdens in this direction.
This was a most exasperating if, a heart-wracking if, an if that made him pause among the ruins of his ancient friendship. He could not believe that it was altogether to chance that he and Hermia owed Olga's discovery of their strange intimacy.

You know that you are to ride with Dr. Ballard at half past four.
"Great Scott!" I cried, "does she expect us to ADOPT her?" "I don't know what she expects; I'm tryin' to tell you what she said.
