You don't mean to say you've walked out from town?" For an answer, Miss Dexter, who had previously unclasped her bag and taken out the bottle, lifted her right hand and threw the contents over Mr. Joseph. "In the name of God!" shrieked the unfortunate man, warding off as he imagined a second attack.

Dexter glanced at Helen, but she kept her eyes averted, and the boy went slowly out, keeping his gaze fixed upon her all the time. "A young scamp!" said the doctor, as soon as they were alone.
