"Produce your instances, Miss Vinrace," he went on, joining his finger-tips. "I'm ready to be converted." He waited, while Rachel vainly tried to vindicate her sex from the slight he put upon it. "I'm afraid he's right," said Clarissa. "He generally is the wretch!"
They are tame deer!" An expression of deep disgust passed over his face, and spurring his horse, he galloped onwards at such a pace that De Catinat, after vainly endeavouring to keep up, had to shriek to him to stop.
