"You are too good, you are too kind," Esther said, and she leaned against the wall, and Mrs. Jones rang the bell.
Only promise me now, dear husband, that you will never game any more." Maurice threw himself upon his knees, and swore that he never, to the last hour of his life, would go to any gaming-table again, or play at any game of chance.
But though she cut short my victuals, that did not hinder me from barking; so to make an end of me altogether, she threw me a sponge fried in grease. I perceived the snare, and knew that what she offered me was worse than poison, for it would swell up in the stomach, and never leave it with life.
What did not die out, however, was a keen desire to know the nature and appearance of the woman in whose hands lay her own destiny.
