Then "James, I demand that that woman leave the house!" she said hoarsely. Bella leaned back and yawned. "James, shall I go?" she asked amiably. "Nonsense," Jim said, pulling himself together as best he could. "Look here, Aunt Selina, you know she can't go out, and what's more, I don't want her to go." "You what?"
