For an instant, her whole being rebelled, and then she saw his eyes. "A-all right," she faltered. "I I'll telephone!" Inside of five minutes, she told him that of her loan, there was nothing left at all.

Peter, you're the first man in all my life, in a-all my life who ever came to me k- kindly and gently; so I had to l-love you and t-tell you, Peter."

Finally he inquired where Little Bonsa was and was answered that he himself as its lawful guardian, was sitting on the fetish in its tin box, tidings that he was able to verify by groping beneath the cushions.
At other times they would have been the first to scoff at Gilmour's swagger. Now their animus against Gourlay prompted them to back it up.
