Can't we think of something? Cannot you find an opening? Do something great! Get her upset on the loch, and save her from drowning! Mr. Macrae dotes on her; he would be grateful.
"How Padre Antonio can overlook such a breach of confidence and offense to the Church is more than I can understand!" "Ah! that shows the extent of her influence over him," answered Señora.
