"Ahem," said Adrian, having waited a little. But Anthony did not look up. "Well, of all unlikely places," said Adrian, wondering. Anthony's pen flew busily backwards and forwards across his paper. "Remarkable power of mental concentration," said Adrian, on a key of philosophic comment. "Eh? What?" Anthony at last questioned, but absently, from the depths, without raising his eyes.
"I suggested an interview with you, but he seemed to think it quite unnecessary, if I could give him the information he required." "Ha!" said Sir Edward promptly, "we'll invite him here. Lady Atherly can bring in some people to see him. Is he ahem What is he like? The usual American, I suppose?" "Not at all. Quite foreign-looking dark, and rather like an Italian.

"That's an ungenerous skit on Edward's profession," objected the maniac.
Men take wimmen's money, as they did here, and use it to uplift themselves, and lower her, like taxin' her heavily and often unjustly and usin' this money to help forward unjust laws which she abominates. And so it goes on, and will, until women are men's equals legally and politically." "Ahem you present things in a new light. I never looked at this matter with your eyes."
