Miss Lucretia may have had her own ideas about the propriety of the reference to the vestal fire. "Gamaliel," she said sharply, "straighten up and don't talk nonsense to me. I've had you on my knee, and I knew your mother and father." Gamaliel did straighten up, as though Miss Lucretia had applied a lump of ice to the small of his back.
