You know what society is, and you know that she ought to be proud of her advantages, and not make a fool of herself. Many a girl would be glad enough of what she has before her. She's got money, and she's got chances, and I don't begrudge her anything. She can spend all she likes on clothes and things, and I'll take her anywhere if she'll behave herself.

In my maidenly confusion I am almost sure I can't help showing my slippers, and just a trifle a very discreet trifle, of course, of these beautiful, beautiful stockings. Nothing vulgar, you know, but" "But just enough," interpolated Wilson with huge enjoyment. "You needn't apologize. I don't begrudge the poor devil whatever satisfaction he can get out of that."
"It seems natural to me to come and look after you, you know." "And it is quite as natural to me to be looked after." "Is it though? But the worst of you gentlemen when you get well is that one has done with you. You go away, and then there's no more about it. I always begrudge to see you get well for that reason." "When you have a man in your power you like to keep him there."
