"I'll try, but it will be difficult, I am afraid," Anita murmured.
On the other hand, it is my duty to warn you that anything you say may be used against you." "Fire away, Mr. Blaine!" Rockamore seated himself and stretched out his legs luxuriously to the open wood-fire. "I don't fancy that anything I shall say will militate against me.
