"By Jove, girl, you are saucy; come here, and sit upon my knee. You're a little wrathful just now, but all the prettier for that. Come." Minny rose up, with her face ashy pale, and stood in her calm womanly dignity before him. "Are you not ashamed to show a defenceless woman such an outrage, in your own house?

But he flung it wide open suddenly, and with a noise; then retreated. After peeping in and listening again, he entered.
