I felt that I could not but take the world's part against the man who allowed himself to be made preposterous externally, when I knew him to be staking his frail chances and my fortune with such rashness.

Pausing, he held his wife at arm's length, gazing at her admiringly. "Will that do? What a gipsy you look, with your red shawl and brown face!" "Pawnee-face, you know!
