It was clearly a business that required delicate handling.
"I'll do my best, sir," replied the guard, with great impressement, as he pocketed Don Juan's five shillings. "You shall be inconvenienced as little as possible." He locked the door and walked away, and I thought we should be left to ourselves. The guard, however, had overestimated his powers.

Oh! it's degradation! What respect can a woman have for her husband after that sight? Imagine it! And I have implored him to spare me. It's useless. You sneer at our hbops and say that you are inconvenienced by them but you gentlemen are not degraded, Oh! unutterably! as I am every morning of my life by that cruel spectacle of a husband.

"To leave!" echoed Helen; she had never once thought of that. "Why, of course," said her aunt. "It would not be possible to enjoy ourselves under such very dreadful circumstances."
