"You see my prediction as to the result of the election has been justified?" "You might even say pars magna fui." The retort slipped out. The impudent challenge had to be met. The Professor did not realize how contemptuously he spoke. The womanish weakness in Hutchings sprang to hurried attack. "At any rate you've no cause for reproach. I resigned chiefly to shield you.
"Now are you as womanish as your bondmaid. You know that all the gold on all the women in Normandy is not so beautiful as one lock of this hair of yours."

There was a chuckling note of pleasure in Philip Whittemore's voice as he leaned half across the table, his handsome face, bronzed by snow and wind, illumined in the lamp-glow.
