"Hard as you can all's right." "There! and there! oh! mercy!" "Press in at my stomach." She nerved herself to do his bidding, and, following his orders, took his head in her hands, and felt about it.

In the Strand end of her own street there were several dramatic agencies, a second-hand book and print shop with piles of dirty music in the barrow outside the window, a little restaurant with cold beef, an ancient chicken, hard-boiled eggs and sponge cakes under glass domes in the window; everywhere about her were dim doors, glimpses of twisting stairs, dusty windows and figures flitting up and down, in and out as though they were marionettes pulled by invisible strings to fulfil some figure.
