The ladies were working rosettes for me. My aunt Dorothy talked very anxiously about the day appointed by my father to repay the large sum expended.

But my child got her chance. You sold it to me and I paid for it in the basest coin of the realm. But I'd do it again knowing what I know now, I'd do it again. You hear! Do you hear!"
