You shall have the money to keep as soon as it is paid." Sabina drew back aghast. "A murderer," she said "and him such a nice quiet-looking old gentleman! Why, aunt Eliza was always planning a match between him and me! It's awful!" Flossy laughed grimly. "People don't carry their crimes in their face, Sabina," she said.

"He has his plaything with him," said Sabina, and her thin lips curled with an expression of bitter contempt.
