"In your present mood, words are wasted on you.

Dearman had soothed and restrained her lord for the time being, and prevented him from insulting and assaulting the "aged roué" who was years younger, in point of fact, than the clean-living Mr. Dearman himself.

"I was looking at Yakowleff's dossier to-day, as you wished," remarked the Minister to the monk. "He seems a very honest, clean-living man for a financier.
