"I thought that you would go through a good deal of unpleasantness for the sake of saving her from trouble. You have said as much." "I have no right to save her from anything. She must forget me." "That is sheer nonsense cowardly nonsense too!" said Mrs. Vane. "If Enid were on the brink of a precipice, would you hesitate to draw her back?
This, sir, at once disarmed Captain Alphonse, who had prevented me from teaching them good manners, which I otherwise should have done, for I had my six-shooter ready, with the barrels all loaded, being always prepared for any such little unpleasantness by my experiences in Venezuela, where a man often carries his life in his own hands!
